Not Fridge Friendly…

Slide 1 of 39: While we seem to be cooking more at home lately, there are probably extra groceries in the house.

Slide 4 of 39: Unless you really want to wrestle with it, avoid leaving honey in the fridge. There's no benefit to chilling it and the low temperatures cause it to crystallize and solidify, so you'll have to warm it before use.

If you're struggling to sleep at night, it could be because you're not getting enough bright light in the morning," he said.If that's not enough to convince you, know that a study published in the journal Sleep Health found that exposure to early morning sunlight leads to better sleep and a much better mood.

Do You Know…How Mother’s Day Came About?

Suffragist and writer Julia Ward Howe first suggested the idea of Mother’s Day in the United States in 1872. Howe was a pacifist and saw the holiday as a chance to unite women and rally for peace. For several years, she held an annual Mother’s Day meeting in Boston.

Life and Nature
By MwsR

Water in a river will continue flowing
My sadness seems to, without my actual knowledge.
Thunder sounds when a storm is around
My feelings do to when I am feeling down.
Clouds stretch out here and there
My mind does to especially when I care.
The grass seems to grow each day
My worry will too, in a way.
Dirt will always be heavy when in a pile
My heart will too until I see you smile.
Life and nature are alike in things.
Open your thoughts and see what that brings.
