We weren’t sure if our order was going to arrive in time for us to beat the Canadian Northern that was headed our way.  Unfortunately, I had waited until the last minute to place the order.  Fortunately though, our new home greenhouse arrived just in time for us to get it put together and [...]

It’s extremely easy these days to add the beauty and majesty of a garden pergola to your yard or garden.  In the old days you would have to go out and find and hire a competent carpenter to design and build this type of garden structure.  Because it is for outdoor use, it is [...]

It’s interesting that it’s only been over the last 100 years or so that we’ve really polluted the earth in an astounding way.  As our world became more and more industrialized, we put more and more pollutants in the air, ground and water without really understanding the danger to our existence it would cause.  [...]
