    MOISTURE MOISTURE MOISTURE – WEEDS WEEDS WEEDS – CALLUSES CALLUSES CALLUSES

    May 14, 2012 /

    Are You Getting the Most Out of your Garden?Or How to Get More Veggies with Less WorkAmateur farmers – that we are! Gardening can be a great way to improve your health with exercise, relaxation and quality food on the table. But are you getting the most from your effort? Straw Mulch Small, part time farmers need to get the most buck for their dollar effort if they want to enjoy their garden produce and make those calluses worth it. So hours of weeding are not a favorite pastime for anyone – just think of all those stretches though! Taking the time to prepare the area by tilling with a…

    Military Spouse Appreciation Day Blog Hop

    May 11, 2012 /

    I come from a long line of great military-spouses!  Both of my grandfathers served in the US Army during World War II.  My father was an Air Force pilot for 30 years.  Now my husband is with the Ohio Army National Guard. Military-wives, in particular, have always been part of my world.  They were the aunts in my life when my mom’s and dad’s sisters lived so far away.  They were the teachers in the DoD schools I attended.  They were the laughter I would hear coming from my own mom’s soul when she was with her best of friends. So here I am a military-spouse in my own right.  The oak tree in the…

    FROST Warning – Caring for your Vegetable Garden

    May 10, 2012 /

    A vegetable garden is both fun and exercise for those who grow a small one or have the time and space for a larger one. The rewards can be great with fresh vegetables and canning or freezing them for the family dinner table as well. We actually do all three and spent a lot more time preparing it this year after a couple of years of less activity. Acorn SquashIn the fall we fertilized, placed some peat moss on the surface and then used the rotor tiller to mix it into our sandy soil. Early in April we rotor tilled it again after adding a bit more fertilizer to eliminate…

    Finding Your Rhythm as a Mom: Mom Connection

    May 10, 2012 /

    I remember sitting in a room full of friends and acquaintances.We were going around the room giving prayer praises & requests.  My request was fairly simple.  “My husband just found out he is deploying to Iraq.  Pray for him.  Pray for us.” That group of women was a room full of moms.  They were an important part of my community: my rhythm.  I was a mom of two boys, aged two and four.  I knew these ladies through MOPS, Mothers of Preschoolers.  They were there for me as I geered up for hub’s deployment, for the year he was gone and then rejoiced with me when he returned.  They were a piece of my connection…

    Speaking to the Civilian Community about our Airmen plus…

    May 9, 2012 /

    As a prelude to Memorial Day the local Rotary Club invited a representative from each service to speak at their weekly meetings through the end of the month. The Air Force led off yesterday and I did point out that we are generally the first in during wartime as well. That created some very friendly service rivalry comments and laughs but it was a great opportunity to talk to the civilian community about the men and women serving our country. We discussed the Air Force Heroes recently awarded Air Force Crosses, Military Spouse Appreciation Day (this Friday), the Budget Control Act (most had never heard of it but when I…

    I’m a Winner! Thanks to UbiRock

    Isn’t it fun when you are notified that “You are a winner!”?  I have to admit it doesn’t happen often.  The first time I ever won something it was a windbreaker from a pet store – eons ago.  The next thing I remember winning was a baby carrier (backpack style) from Babies R Us soon after my now 9 year old was born.  We still have that backpack and it has been used for my other sons as well as my nieces and nephews.  It is like the gift that keeps on giving! Just last week I got that ‘You are a winner’ announcement once again.  Three days later in the…

    Stretching out in style.

Oh be still my dancing feet. OUCH. They arrived as cute as ever! Shiny brass buckle, snappy color red inset. Loved them. And then I slid my foot in ……….. whoa. This was not Cinderella standing in front of the prince. What to do?  There was no way could I let them sit in the box. So… enter ingenuity! Air…

    Each year the Friday before Mother’s Day is Military Spouse Appreciation Day; May 11, 2012. “The first Military Spouse Day was first celebrated in 1984 when then-President Ronald Reagan proclaimed the observance to honor the contributions of military spouses.

    An Open Letter to Teenage Drivers

    May 1, 2012 /

    Dear Teenager Driver whose path I crossed yesterday, In some ways I am sorry for yelling yesterday.  I know I yelled loud.  Adrenaline kicked in and Mother Bear came out.  I now know you were scared. You see there are three very special boys to me – VERY special.  They frequently play on the sidewalk that you careened over.  There are at least nine other neighborhood children who are all very dear friends.  Children that we cannot replace.  Children who play in our quiet street in our quiet development.  A black-hole could have easily been created in our hearts that day had only one of our precious jewels from heaven been standing on the…
