Heading Towards Autumn

August 27, 2016

Sad as it is to see summer days shorten, there is a new growing season to think about. There is still plenty of seeds to be sown for autumn/winter harvests and clearing out old growth to make way for new in time for the next season. … More Heading Towards Autumn

Bring Home The Bread

Bring Home The Bread

Although our family were corn millers, most of the grain was used for animal feed. Some would be retained for personal use to make into flour. Nothing was wasted, even flour sacks could be turned into hand towels and aprons, and the white sacks made into pillow cases. Sadly prosperity has turned us into a wasteful throw-away society.

Bumblebee Conservation

Manchester Bees

Giant bee sculptures will be swarming in Manchester, England. Besides being the symbol of Manchester, local street artists are getting the opportunity to test their artistic skills on 80 giant bees.

However, thinking outside the box, this shows it’s a healthy environment you have created. Pollinators and a health meter all-in-one. Find out more about them at Butterfly Conservation.
