Bell Peppers
Just got a few bell peppers out of my Earth Box garden on the west deck this evening. My tomatoes hate the heat, but the peppers seem to be enjoying it. This was not originally supposed to be an artistic shot, or even a formal shoot, just an image of a pepper, but a white […]

Aphid Annihilation
This week I have discovered my absolute worst garden enemy, the aphid. The only problem is they are not in the garden, where it is easy to kill them. This is on the AeroGardens, indoors. Today I have been trying to get the little bastards off of my pepper plants. I started by trying to […]
Not Enough Time
One may think that with being bored, that any chance for activity to occur would be a welcome blessing. Unfortunately, in my world, things seem to all hit at almost the exact same time. My mother has decided to take the rest of the week off from work and take care of some things in […]

Cookware should be able to be held completely still, and not be dependent on the obedience of a single screw. I have made this decision after having cleaned by […]
Warm weather
The snow has melted and it is as if we have gone straight from winter to summer in just a few days. Luckily the nights are still cool and the weather is not too unbearable yet, but 80 degrees in March has me not looking forward to what the weather will be like in June. […]
Strawberry Fields…In the AeroGarden
One of the strawberry plants that has not yet been transplanted out of the AeroGarden has begun blooming. This is a fairly small plant compared to the larger friends that were removed from the garden recently. This week I have to take these plants out and the starter tray and put them into soil so […]
Lack of Men in Fitness
I have been browsing DVDs on Amazon as well as in the Columbia House club, looking at various categories. One of the categories I decided to browse was fitness. I notice something quite disturbing to me when looking at them, most of the covers featured women. Why are there no men in fitness? The only […]
