Green As You Can Be

posted by jax1215 on Jan 14

We have been snowed in for most the year. (all 14 days of it) I got out on the 4th to run some errands and have been stuck since. It’s not really a bad thing.  It’s given me a chance to think of the direction I want this blog to go. I had not been happy with what I had been doing. Anyone can tell you to change your light bulbs and insulate your house. It’s not all of the big picture. I’m talking about sustainable living, a more simpler life. Those who know me, know that I’m the queen of stuff. I NEED to simplify.

So, I will still give green tips but I will also add in more “make do” comments, a lot of organic gardening and growing tips, some interviews with those that are doing and links to “good to know” sites.

Right now we are “making do” with wood heat. We have electric heat but really hate using it, so we have a wood burning stove in our living area. We have been harvesting all the fallen trees that have been cluttering up our woods. As we chop the wood for burning, we set aside the pieces I can use for craft projects.  I have several projects lined up for warmer weather. I like the wood heat and the glow from the stove, really cozy.

I promise to post at least once a week with some interesting link or idea. Sorry I’ve been away so long.
