An Idaho Moment
An Idaho Moment
This is something you dont see every day. Thank goodness! Goats being herded down the highway in rural America. These goats are used to eat noxious weeds in our state. There are many herds similar to this one and apparently they earn their keep.
There are fat ones, skinny ones, and even some very young ones thrown into the mix. I thought this was worth sharing as I have only seen it one other time. They actually stopped highway traffic to move these goats to a new place and cars did not seem to faze them at all.

Organic Gardening for Beginners You Can Start An Organic Garden Too!
Organic Gardening for Beginners You Can Start An Organic Garden Too!
As you may have knew or guessed it, organic gardening does not involve the use of chemical fertilizers which reduces the risk of Cancer, Birth Defects, Infertility and many other health problems.
Many know of such problems but they do not want to prevent it UNTIL it happens to them. Sad, isnt it? You may argue that money is important than health or equally important.
What Im trying to convey is, dont wait till the problem happens to you and then prevent it but prevent it before it happens to you. I hope Im not confusing you. That is why I would say go organic now.
I cant stress the importance with words.

A Musician Must Make Music An Artist Must Paint A Poet Must Write
A Musician Must Make Music An Artist Must Paint A Poet Must Write
I think there is so much truth to this quote. As an artist and writer I can say from
my own experience that without being able to express my creativity
through either art or writing or jewelry making, I would never truly feel at peace.
For the artist (and this also covers musicians and writers, and all creative types),
I feel that when we are creating our art, no matter what type of art that may be,
we are experiencing something that truly satisfies our souls.

...so much in fact, that it is almost dizzying!
Since the release of my jewelry book, BoHo Chic Jewelry, I have been very busy
trying to carve out time to create new jewelry for my Etsy shop, basically trying to
play catch-up, but I dont feel like I am making much progress because it always seems
that by the time I finish up a new piece of jewelry or two (and it is time consuming!),
photograph it, and list it in my shop, it is sold! Of course thats a good thing though,
and I am so grateful to all of my wonderful customers who enjoy my work, those of you
who want it for yourselves to wear, or as gifts for friends or family. I thank you :)
Know that I make every piece just for you.

The reason Ive been so busy is that I recently received my second book deal to write

This necklace was once a calendar plate...
...Celebrating the year 1909
In 1909:
Construction on the Titanic began...

Indianapolis Motor Speedway opened...
In 1909 these things had not yet been invented:
Band-aids, sunglasses, penicillin, zippers, traffic lights.
The average worker earned between $200 to $400 a year.

The Essentials of an Accessible Durable Shed
The Essentials of an Accessible Durable Shed
Building the right-sized shed homes is easier said than done. After all, you cant go wrong with building bigger and with more storage space, right? As itll turn out, the tradeoff is in the costs and the work hours. Its a shame to invest time and money on space youll hardly use, let alone maximize. If youre planning to build a shed out of raw materials and with your bare hands, then you have your work cut out for you, otherwise, its easier if you choose convenience and go with pre-built kits instead. Theres no need to be wary of assembled sheds, and youll find the variety available covers for your preference, budget, time constraints, and any other concern.
Size Matters, but Big Isn’t always Better
Your first factor in choosing a shed is size. You have to ask how much space you really want to fill in. Thisll account for your current and future needs, so choosing the right size and scale is a bit tricky. Theres also the problem of durability. If youre building a shed for the very long haul, then itll have to last through years and years of wear. You cant scrimp on materials, and you have to ensure these are used appropriately. A concrete foundation lasts longer than pressed wood, and you have to build everything with rot, moisture, and pest infestation considered.
Location, Durability and Accessibility Considered
Location is crucial for accessibility, functionality, and durability. You want it built as close to your workspace as possible, but you also have to consider the conditions of the area. The ideal way to do it is to build on an incline, away from any source of moisture or running water. Rot can easily creep in from (even the concrete) foundations, and in a few years time you have a safety hazard on your hands. Dont look for the perfect location as much as the ideal location for your shed, and make sure its built to boost your curb appeal as well.
Safety as Priority
Safety shouldnt be overlooked and should be a priority. First up is compliance with your local building regulations, which can be quite particular at best. Dont underestimate the paperwork that goes prior to constructing a shed, and it varies from state to state. Youll spare yourself from a few worries if you buy kits that meet construction requirements. These are your feasible alternatives if you want something done in a short time frame, without compromising durability. You can find more info on shed homes at SimplySheds, if youre up for something more elaborate. The basics of construction apply regardless of the scale, and you have to meet all the prerequisites if you want use what youve already built.
