Gardening Hobby

My schedules these days are so hectic that I don’t have time anymore for some of my hobbies including gardening and cooking. Well cooking is a necessity so busy or not I cooked a lot for my healthy meal plans and for my family. For gardening I cannot recall when was the last time I indulge because it’s quite a long long time since I handled a gardening tool. How I missed doing it but I have two jobs so maybe I’ll be able to do it in the next few months when my load of work is lighter. 

It’s the one thing that I admire of my Mom because she does it every day. Even if she’s old and sometimes stricken with arthritis she makes it gardening her everyday exercise and past time. She has a green thumb so it makes her hobby a worthwhile one as all her planted plants and flowers grows abundantly. Now with the occasion of Mother’s Day and her birthday coming I searched through The Growers Exchange site where I found herb garden kits perfect for gifts. They grow farm fresh greens, edible flowers and herb plants. I know she’ll love it as she always loves whatever plant I bring her. She also has knowledge in various herbal medicinal plants so she will also love tendering some plants of that kind.

Benefits of Replacement Windows

Our house was built three decades ago and since that day we still have the same original windows that have gone through heat, rain, thunderstorms and a lot of year’s usage. It’s still strong and durable but due to old age it sometimes fails to give us protection from extreme heat of summer unless you put blinds or curtains. This summer I always had an urge to open our windows to enjoy fresh air as the interior heat of the house suffocates most of the time. I was thinking of replacement windows that’s made of fiberglass or other material that will give us comfort as well long-lasting performance. 

I was actually saving some money for intended window repairs because our house is huge and it would take big finances to do it. I want a new design, a kind of sliding windows for ease of use and with a little tint or shade of color to limit the rays of the sun coming in from outside. I know that to replace your windows is really that expensive but it’s worth it when you count the benefits it will bring. Just imagine the fresh air it will bring if it could allow passage of air even when it’s hot.
