Buying Local Grown-the True & the False of Your Wreaths & Poinsettias

 Two of the most popular purchases for the Holiday beside trees are wreaths and poinsettias.  Historically only available at florists and nurseries and today sold everywhere in the oddest places that really… have no business doing so.  All big box stores from hardware to grocery to convenient stores and gas stations offer them both in

Flowers Straight From the Heart

There are so many talented rock musicians, some with real heart; and Bryan Adams has heart.  He is one of us; one who thinks outside hisself; one who believes he is not the only being in the world.   I’ve met him on numerous occasions and friends, he is the real thing.  I think all artists of any

For the Birds-For Me

On February 23, 1994, Congress proclaimed this month as National Bird Feeding Month.    This is a difficult month for the winged ones and providing even a small ration of food, water, and shelter will help wild birds survive; and ourselves.   Watching birds can provide an almost  Zen like break to our fast paced lives.  Nature

Resolutions and Paper Towels

The Holidays are officially over, and resolutions are abundant.  Resolutions are a funny thing; they can be large or small, they can be painless or overwhelming.   However, we believe they are always for the better.  I myself, try just one green change no matter how insignificant it seems to everyone in the store or the
