Maximizing Resources . . . Making Life Better
I wish I were your bathroom mirror, oh apple of my eye
For then each morn at crack of dawn, your beauty I could spy
To look upon your lovely smile while on your teeth you brush
And know for sure I’d turn away ’til toilet you did flush
But now I see why it couldn’t be, my precious buttercup
For when your robe did hit the floor . . .
I’d go to pieces that’s for sure . . .
And bad I’d feel if you were stuck . . .
with seven years of dreadful luck ! ! !
AMANDA McDOOGLE HAS FOUR HUNDRED HATS
MORE THAN ONE FOR EACH DAY OF THE YEAR
WHETHER RIDING TO WORK OR JUST SITTING IN CHURCH
HATS ARE ALWAYS A PART OF HER GEAR.
A CHEF’S HAT FOR THE KITCHEN, A CAP FOR THE BATH
A SOMBRERRO FOR WORK IN THE SUN
ALTHOUGH MOST OF HER HATS ARE MOST PURPOSEFULLY WORN
THERE’S A FEW THAT SHE’LL DON JUST FOR FUN
NOW OF ALL OF THE HATS THAT SHE KEEPS ON HER SHELF
THERE IS ONE THAT SHE’S PURPOSED TO SAVE
IT’S A DELICATE BLACK VELVET CHESINGTON CAP
SHE’S DECIDED TO WEAR IN THE GRAVE.
These are all three shots of the northwest corner of the property. The first one is the closest to the same shot as the “after” shown immediately below.
One of the things I was most proud of is that we did not haul away any material. It was all cut up rather small and distributed as a somewhat crude mulch.
This is the front of the house. Hidden behind the fire hydrant was a 3′ tall multi branched pine tree stump that was over 1′ in diameter.
Not only did I cut the “weed” trees and shrubs, but I also pulled a lot of the tall weeds and then edged the steps of the main entry.
The south side looked pretty bad, but was a lot easier to clean up. The shrubs hanging over the fence on the right were growing from the neighbors so I did not remove them, I only trimmed them back.
The pictures don’t do justice for what was accomplished. Still, all of this was done in about four hours time.

Three lovely ladies
Were sitting in the park.
One of them had locks of gold
Another’s hair was dark.
The third one’s flowing trusses
kind of brown, yet kind of red.
Could more precisely be described
If she had turned her head
But there was no mistaking it
With long and flowing hair
These three lovely ladies
Had the means to make men stare.
Now truth be told I was surprised
Not just a little when . . .
These lovely ladies rose to leave
And I discovered they were men!
The Miami Valley Regional Center For Sustainability is currently raising funds to open a Sustainability Museum . . . not by begging for donations, but by pre-selling memberships to the museum.
The first 500 people to purchase a family membership for just $25 will have their membership converted to a lifetime membership.
Each section of the museum will represent an individual topic of sustainability, and each of the areas will be created and put together by a different group, organization, institution, business, or class of students.
The museum will include an area for the general public, an interactive children’s museum, and an art gallery displaying fascinating works made from reused materials.
Learn more about the center and the museum at www.mvrcfs.org .

I believe that the most effective way to remove excess nutrients from our rivers is to grow plants . . [...]

I believe that I have come up with the answer to a common problem. Come to think of it, solving the one problem actually solves another. The first problem is all of the time that is wasted by folks standing around holding up cardboard signs and begging for money. The second problem is how much of our [...]
