My shopping at Costco:
I love lemon! In so many things.....
I keep it handy with a pour spout in this old wine bottle "Jelly Bean" my
daughter-in-law Jen gave me...
Dude gets his boneless skinless chicken thighs cooked in chicken stock and
gets a little extra with his food. I like to add some to my daily herb tea. And
of course the zip bags are the most handy for freezing stuff!
I also got a couple bags of sugar. Sooooooooooooooooo much cheaper at Costco. I use it to make hummingbird necter. The little one pound bag at the market is $5 and the big five pound bag at Costco is $5 !!!
I got a bag of artichokes and shared them with Jennifer. Love them and I
would eat them all, but it's better to share!
Keeping them in a glass of water after trimming the stem is a good way to
keep them healthy for a few days until you are ready to cook them.

winners....

Yesterday after doing some chores I went into town to get a prescription

Michigan. As I was leaving the pharmacy drive up there was this what looked like
a field cricket... not big enough for a grasshopper....
He was a tough little guy. He hung on as I drove, turned facing the front of the
vehicle and stayed there until I reached a speed of 45mph. Bye little funny
guy!
Last night I was going to meet up with the "gang" (Pattersons, Yellins, and

Learn About Composting Day
Learn
About Composting Day is a great
opportunity to "Go Green" and help the environment. Composting is easy. It makes
you feel good, knowing you are doing your part to keep our environment a little
bit cleaner. You may be surprised at how easy it is to compost. And, everyone
can compost.
What
to compost- As you learn about
composting, you will be surprised at all the things you can compost. It is
common knowledge, that you can compost garden and yard vegetation, as well as
kitchen (vegetable) scraps. But, you can also recycle many other things,
including papers, untreated wood, and cardboard. Cardboard paper towel and
toilet paper holders are great items to compost.
You
can use compost around your plants, to feed them, keep the weeds down, and to
help retain soil moisture. If you don't have a yard, you can give it away to
family and friends that do. Your reward will be flowers, vegetables or herbs
from thankful gardeners.
Did
you Know? You can make Compost Tea
with your compost materials to feed your indoor and outdoor plants! It will
save you $$$.
Find
more about Compost Materials
As
you learn about composting today, you will also see the wide array of ways you
can compost. You can start a simple compost pile in your back yard. Or, you can
select a range of composters, from compost bins and compost barrels, to compost
tumblers. You can even use an indoor compost pail. More on Composters and Compost Tumblers.
