Free Compost for my Garden!

 

Here in my Hometown, there is a free compost pile with a free dump from a tractor on Thursdays. Now, that’s what I call a DEAL!

Free Junkie Fridays: Roasting a Marshmallow over A Fire

Posted on June 19, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment
Finding Free Wood is easier than you think! After a wind storm a couple months ago, my kids and I loaded up on fallen branches from the school parking lot across the street. Free Fires, baby!
My kids love having a fire and roasting marshmallows. The sunset that came with it wasn’t so bad either!

Free Junkie Fridays – Free Book: Dr. Chase’s Recipes; Published Year of 1891

Free Antique Book

I now have a book 120 years old!
I got it in the “FREE” pile at my local library.
It is by a Dr. Chase famous in England for knowing everything!
Perusing the Book, he has not only Medical Advice but Housecleaning, Agricultural Advice and Cooking Recipes. It is 865 pages long.
Here is an excerpt of advice:

In the Chapter: The Toilet
An Old Lady’s Only Cosmetic

“The only cosmetic I have used,” said an old lady, “is a flannel wash-cloth…

Dr. Chase’s Remarks: This bathing of the face and neck with the hot water every night and morning, with a good rubbing with the flannel, certainly brings the blood to the surface, and what is there so nice as the beautiful carnation of a lady’s cheek and lips, who has never spoiled God’s beautiful arrangement for this beauty with pinky powders, or the swarthy liquids, in her attempt to outdo nature’s handiwork…

Hmmm. I wonder if all I really need in the way of cleansers and makeup is a flannel wash cloth…???Something to think about.
