It seems like it was just a few months ago that I found the perfect garden arbors and brought them home to put in the yard. I have always loved the look of those old fashioned wooden arbors so when I found a great “too good to be true” deal online I jumped on it and got me some real beauts.
As much as I love the autumn weather, it is a constant reminder that winter, and all that goes along with that each and every year, is right around the corner. I don’t like the cold and the wet and the wind, ugh. I like spending time outside, not being stuck inside with layers of clothing on and constantly trying to keep warm without turning up the heat since heating oil has become so darned expensive.
Waiting until next April or May to be able to spend time outside and in the yard, especially my garden, seems like light years away. I have bought some seeds for a great vine to plant next spring that I hope will grow up and down and all around the one arbor and I’m looking into finding a great flowering vine to grow on the other one.
Is it Spring yet?

Now is a good time to have someone come out and see just how energy efficient your home is. The cold weather is hitting us harder with each waking day and it will only get colder and colder from here. The cost of heating our homes has sky rocketed and having an home energy audit is a great way to find out what you can do in order to make your home less costly to heat, as well as air conditioned come the hot weather months.
I had my home looked at last year and they were the ones that prompted me to purchase and have installed my energy efficient windows that I am so happy with. And I got a good tax break from getting them as well, so it was well worth the time and money that I spent on them, especially when I get my heating and a/c utility bill now. There are lots of companies that will come out and do this service for you. I used the Homeenergyteam.com website and it worked quick and easy like for me so I feel comfortable passing this information along here today.
I think that it is pretty cool that in Canada you can find services that will assist with people that need to remove criminal record listings and help with the canadian pardon application that is available to their citizens. I never knew that that was an option until I stumbled onto a site that advertises these services. Oh how I love the Internet and all the things that I learn from it almost on a daily or weekly basis, how did we ever live and survive without it?
I have always been interested in taking a trip into Canada and see what it is all about. I don’t speak any French, but from what I understand that shouldn’t be an issue in most of Canada. The other issue is that I HATE the cold, but I’ve recently learned that isn’t always cold up there either as I always thought.
So if you have any interest in learning about the removal of criminal record canada style you can go to pardonservicescanada.com and see what that is all about and learn something new for the day as well. They have a lot of intersting stuff there.
I went out last night to take the trash to the end of the drive way and was totally surprised on how cold it was. I know that summer is offically over but my goodness I am not ready for this colder weather, guess I need to start breaking out my winter clothes soon, sigh. . .
The Comedy Channel is on most of the time these days. I’m a firm believer of laughter being the best medicine and with this god awful heat that we have been experiencing each and every day, over and over again, we could use a good dose of some mighty fine medicine, along with a nice cold beer!
One of my favorite shows to watch on The Comedy Channel is Josh.O. This dude just continues to crack me up and he is easy on the eyes as well.
