Two Birds

Good morning,
Amanda T. contacted me a few weeks ago with a proposal to participate in a give away on her site. I sent her the Two Birds bird feeder and in return she posted a very nice blog about Greenpurse with a voucher for $25. The catch is, it ends today! Here is the link... http://mylifewithratsandmore.blogspot.com/2010/07/review-and-giveaway-green-purse-bird.html
Happy, happy week!

P. S. Something really big happening before summers end so stayed tuned!

Fish on barby

Good morning all,
Last week my husband fired up the grill for some traditional foods cooked outdoors. He was finishing up and wanted me to join him. I told him I couldn't because I was just about to make the fish for our sandwiches. I almost always make my fish the same way. Dredged in crumbs, sprinkled with a little butter and baked. It was such a hot day, he suggested we try them on the grill. I went for it! They were cooked indirect, therefore, no grill marks. They were delicious! We conserved energy by not turning on the oven, that kept the house cooler so the air didn't kick in (not for a while anyway) all while saving money. The biggest bonus... I didn't have the mess and smell of cooking fish indoors. The moral of the story, next time you cook outside, think of other things you could throw on to save you some time, money and energy. Happy, happy week!

Plants don't care about germs!

Good morning all,
As many of you may know my husband and I host a 4th of July party most every year. Lots of food, fun and beverages. With it goes lots of garbage, cans and clean up. (not complaining, had a great time!) In the process of getting the garage and yard back in order, you find cans and water bottles half full or full in some cases. I used to just pour the water down the drain or anywhere in the grass or driveway, but since starting Greenpurse, I've become more aware of waste. I also became aware of the fact that plants don't care about germs! I now take all the water bottles and empty them into a watering can. We also drained the water from the coolers into cans and I ended up with two days worth of water for my potted plants! Now I just need to find out if they like beer, soda and leftover fruit salad! Happy, happy week!

Independence

My thanks once again to all who serve and have served to make this country free and independent. God Bless America! Have a wonderful, safe 4th of July!
