Green Gardening Tips
Harvest rainwater using a rain barrel is an inexpensive and effortless way to capture mineral- and chlorine-free water for watering lawns, yards, and gardens, as well as washing cars or rinsing windows.
Compost like a champ by throwing in your vegetable waste, instead of allowing it to be trucked off to the landfill. Known as "gardener's gold," compost enriches soil fertility by giving it a shot of high-powered, plant-loving nutrients.

Out of The Mouths of Babes
One the first day of school, the Kindergarten teacher said, “If anyone has to go to the bathroom, hold up two finger.” A little voice from the back of the room asked, “How will that help?”
A new neighbor asked the little girl next door if she had any brothers or sisters. She replied, “No, I’m the lonely child.”
Good To Know:
Why have an ANNUITY?
The biggest advantages annuities offer is that they allow you to sock away a larger amount of cash and defer paying taxes.
Unlike other tax-deferred retirement accounts such as 401(k)s and IRAs, there is no annual contribution limit for an annuity. That allows you to put away more money for retirement, and is particularly useful for those that are closest to retirement age and need to catch up.
All the money you invest compounds year after year without any tax bill from Uncle Sam. That ability to keep every dollar invested working for you can be a big advantage over taxable investments.
You can choose a lump-sum payment from your annuity or some retirees prefer to set up guaranteed payments for a specific length of time or the rest of your life, providing a steady stream of income.The annuity serves as a complement to other retirement income sources, such as Social Security and pension plans.
