Hummingbirds

Sunday, July 5th, 2009

Every year we set out bird feeders and this year we have added a glass hummingbird feeder. I found this great little hummingbird feeder on the web site for Bird Feeders. I really like the selection of hummingbird feeders and the other styles of bird feeders on their web site. I know it will be a great sight when the humming birds come to visit the hummingbird feeders we have placed in our back yard and it will be a sight that I will enjoy all summer long. Bird Feeders has a great web site and I will be a frequent visitor to buy supplies for all of my bird feeders that I have in my yard.

Eco friendly

Sunday, June 14th, 2009

Over the years I have tried to be as eco friendly as I can when I go camping and bird watching, so this year I have found the perfect binoculars to take on our next camping and bird watching trip to the Smoky Mountains. The Nikon Ecobins are a fantastic piece of equipment that I will take with me when ever I go into the mountains camping and bird watching. The Ecobins binoculars that I bought have Eco-Glass which isĀ  lead-free and has arsenic-free lenses and prisms.This is something I had not really thought about until this year and I will from this point on do my very best not to take any dangerous substances with me in the mountains and the Ecobins from Nikon are my first step in this agenda.

The box that the Nikon Ecobins come in is even made from recycled paper and that is going the extra step to help save our ecosystem. I for one will use recycled paper when I can to do my part and we leave no trash at the camping site we do not bury or burn it like a lot of people we carry our trash out with us, I know this is not a huge item but every scrap of trash not left in our forests is a step forward.

Meditation

Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009

Meditation is a new hobby of mine and I have found the most wonderful Crystal Singing Bowls, and I love this web site where I have found them at. Silver Sky Imports has a fantastic web site with such a large selection of items used for meditation and other natural healing, I love the site and will be sending all of my friends there to check it out. The biggest surprise was the price, it beat any of the stores we have here in Nashville and that made the trip even more friendly for me. I can not wait to get back to Silver Sky Imports to see the new inventory they have in stock.

Mosquito Magnet

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

The Mosquito Magnet is one of the finest products we have bought fore our yard in many years. We have had one issue and it is not a problem with the Mosquito Magnet itself, we have lost the owners manual and we had to call customer service to get them to send us a replacement book. You never know how important something like that is until, you lose it. If we ever need to get it know they will be on top of mosquito magnet repair too. The staff at Mosquito Magnet have helped us with every issue we have had and we are very pleased with the service and with the quality of the machine itself. We have a lot of mosquitoes here in Middle Tennessee and a good bug zapper is very important if you plan on spending any time outside.

The Mosquito Magnet company will even help you place your new mosquito magnet in the proper position to get the very best results from it, did you ever think of something like that when you bought bug zappers from the farm supply store ot the discount giants who just want your money and do not care if your a satisfied customer or not.

Lake

Friday, May 22nd, 2009

One of the things that I really like about living right near the lake is all the birds that have made our neighborhood their home. We have everything in our skies from an eagle to hummingbirds and everything in between. We have some very pretty cardinals and orioles to catbirds. It sometimes messes with the dogs, having all the birds in the yard but that is one of the perils of having a lot of wildlife in your yard. Add in the rabbits and squirrels plus the occasional deer and we almost have a zoo going on here.
