My mom loves to decorate her yard with plants and every so often has a professional landscaper come in and plant flowers and shape up the yard. When I was a kid, I had no allergies. The pollen didn’t bother me a bit. I didn’t wheeze, or cough, or feel nauseated when springtime rolled around.…
Put Your Ugly Mug on Anything
That’s right. You can put your ugly mug on anything, even an ugly mug! Or a t-shirt, or a mouse pad [Note: despite popular opinion, mouse pads are not feminine protection for mice], or a calendar, or just about anything else that can be printed on. What’s even better is you don’t have to sacrifice…
Keep It Green: Light Your Yard with Solar Power
Yes, I am aware that during the daylight hours, everyone’s yard is lit by solar power. Unless you live in one of those parts of the planet where it’s night for months at a time.

The Quest for Space
My three-day mission: to explore and claim as much space as I can… in my room. I have re-arranged several pieces of furniture and reclaimed over half my floor space in my bedroom at home. That, of course, left an inordinate amount of junk on my floor. I sorted out most of what could be…
Have a Green Holiday: Use LED Rope Light to Decorate
Aside from being enviro-friendly, LED rope light is pretty nifty, and can come in an assortment of colors.
