Thankful Thursday Tidbits

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Posted by: Brenda Kula | September 25, 2008 We’ve rolled around to another Thankful Thursday, hosted by Rhondi at Rose Colored Glasses.

Today I am thankful that the recipient of my 200th post giveaway is Eve from both the Gardening On The Gulf Coast and Traveling On Fumes blogs. And Eve is “paying it forward” by giving her gifts to the needy elderly in her area. Good for you, Eve! Lidy, who owns French Garden House where the gift certificate is from, donates some of her proceeds to charitable causes helping children. And now Eve will go to the other end of the spectrum, and help out the elderly. Two very nice, socially-conscious individuals. I applaud you both on your generosity. (more…)

The Little Things

Monday, September 15th, 2008

Posted by: Brenda Kula | September 15, 2008

Look what I got in the mail last week. Remember me filling out the online questionnaire to see if my yard would qualify as a certified wildlife habitat? And it did. It wasn’t as difficult as I’d thought. (more…)

Posted by: Brenda Kula | September 13, 2008

I sure hope my little feathered friends have found a dry haven in one of my many birdhouses around the yard. For the rain is pounding down now. (more…)
