[From Mar. 29, 2011] Finally, a sunny, warmish day! Checking out the new market garden field, plowed and disked from unused pasture last Fall, drying out now. New season, more start-up, still exciting!
For those of us who can visualize the end result - a plate of juicy, perfectly ripe heirloom tomatoes, for instance - it's easier to get excited about all the groundwork that goes into making one's garden great. For the little ones, though, who don't have the ability to see the end goal, it takes some guidance to get them in the gardening spirit (and keep them there!). Here's how to get the whole family in on the activity.
Food: It can be sexy. It can be seductive. It can be poignant. It can be dangerous. And god knows - it can be delicious! Instead of salivating over the Cooking Channel, pull out one of these culinary cinematic adventures (both oldies but goodies and new and noteworthies), grab a loved one, a good glass of vino, some popcorn (don't tell your dentist), and make it a night at the movies for your inner foodie.

Fleas and ticks are problems that all animal lovers encounter at some point, and your initial instinct is to get rid of them at all costs.

But before you go running to the store to buy whatever treatment your vet may have recommended, you may want to assess what other health risks you are exposing your family members – human and animal – to.
Disasters such as the massive earthquake that devastated Japan get us all thinking... about how prepared we aren't. They serve as a wake-up call to make sure we are equipped for a potential emergency. While you may not live in an earthquake prone region, there are numerous situations that put us all at risk. Experts suggest that in the case of an emergency, it could be at least 3 days before a rescue or vital services are restored. Having a 72-hour plan can make a huge difference in your chances of survival.
FDA officials announced earlier this week that some food products from Japan, mainly dairy, would not be allowed to enter the U.S. amidst the nuclear crisis rattling the nation as a result of the March 11th earthquake.
