Mums the Word for Fall

It’s time to decorate your fall garden, patio, porch or favorite pot (s) with hardy fall mums (chrysthanemum). You will see lots of bright colored ones available in garden centers right now. Here’s a few tips on how to keep them growing beautifully.

If you are planning to put them in your flower bed choose a sunny, well-drained spot. Dig a hole a little wider than the pot and just as deep as the soil ball. If your soil is not good, add 1/3 composted or organic material such as humus in with the existing soil to fill back in around the root ball. Put some time-release fertilizer in the planting hole according to label directions and water in thoroughly. Keep your mum well-watered if it doesn’t rain even when the weather turns chilly. Your mum still needs a drink. Remove/pinch off spent blooms and your mum should provide color for weeks. If youContinue reading “Mums the Word for Fall”

ice cream

In class the other day we were studying the three states of matter. I hope
this will be an exciting experience for the young at heart and those who are
about the age of my students (11 years old). First pour 1/2 cup of whole
milk into a quart sized baggy. Place 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 2
tablespoons of sugar in the milk and seal the bag. Place the quart sized
baggy in a gallon sized ziploc baggy. Cover the quart sized baggy with as
much ice as you can. Cover the ice with 1/4 cup salt. Seal the large bag
tightly. Shake and toss it until the ice cream is semi solid. Some of the
students on our hallway added chocolate to their milk. For all you young
scientist, remember that the salt lowers the freezing point of the water
which causes your mixture to become solid. This is a tasty treat that you
get a lot of exercise when doing. Hope you young people out theirContinue reading “ice cream”

Don’t Break Ranks

I heard a sermon that made be understand one tactic of the enemy. The
pastor said the reason the Roman army was strong is that they stood shoulder
to shoulder. If you wanted to weaken the defenses all you had to do was to
break up the stance of the soldiers. The enemy does this all the time. He
tries to tell you lies about your brothers and sisters in Christ. He tries
to break your rank. We wants you to throw in the towel. He wants you to
forget about where you are seated. If you believe in Jesus you are seated
with Him. He is in eternity and you are seated in eternity as well. Don’t
forget where you are seated. Don’t give up hope! Stand shoulder to
shoulder and withstand.

RETRO

I love the word RETRO! For one thing I can just drag any old thing out of my closet and it works. And another real important thing I can use my ‘old way of life’ and tell it to others without saying words I just don’t like, “we use to do it this way.”

Now about my Retro…for today. When things didn’t go right, we would write for a teacher or parent 100 times the opposite of what we just did.
This week I was having some real weak moments, Like my desk is a total complete disgraceful upside down mess. My closet looks like a summer breeze blew in and blew out without taking anything with it. My overall house looks like dust is a valuable piece of art. And, my gardens and patios are as decorative as if a hurricane came to visit but of course it didn’t.

I found myself speaking to myself in words not becoming to myself or to anyone in sight incContinue reading “RETRO”

Obesity ‘engulfing the entire world’

The world is in the grip of an obesity pandemic that threatens to overwhelm every country’s health system, experts at an international conference warned on Sunday.

“Obesity is an international scourge,” Professor Paul Zimmet, the chairman of the meeting of more than 2,500 experts and health officials, told delegates in a speech opening the International Congress on Obesity. “This insidious, creeping pandemic of obesity is now engulfing the entire world.”

“It’s as big a threat as global warming and bird flu,” said Zimmet, an Australian diabetes expert.

Other experts at the conference said the cost of treating health problems related to being overweight was immeasurable on a global scale, but was estimated at billions of dollars a year in countries such as Australia, Britain and the United States.

“We are not dealing with a scientific or medical problem, we’re dealing with an eContinue reading “Obesity ‘engulfing the entire world’”
