THE HAUNTED - Castles, Houses,
Inns, Restaurants, & more!
Perhaps it wasn't
the wind that slammed that door shut? Maybe the footsteps down the hall
aren't coming from a living being? Are those shrieks and howls
outside the window really just a tomcat vocalizing his desire for
companionship? Perhaps people just enjoy the idea of a haunting?
And maybe it's just a great marketing ploy for bed and breakfast inns and historical societies?
While not everyone believes in ghosts, the stories and histories behind many haunted
places can seem just as lively as their "spiritual" residents.
AUTUMN HARVEST: Gardening
&
Landscaping in the Fall!
Fall is traditionally associated with harvesting and stocking up for
the winter ahead; however, many locations in the U.S., even those
accustomed to getting heavy snow in the winter, embrace the
fall as
a great time to extend their garden harvest and continue to play with
their landscape. Gardeners may continue to plant a regular 'salad
mix' and root vegetables through November. Fall is also a great
time to plant bulbs and other plants for the following spring.
Landscapers who think ahead may already have some great flower varieties
showing off their colors in the fall. Finally, fall is a great
time to take advantage of mild temperatures to prepare the plants and
soil for the winter ahead. There are many projects for the fall
garden to keep all green-thumbs happy!

HOMES of the FUTURE!
What better way to
look into the future than to peer into the technology and
innovation behind homes of the future. As technology changes
so many aspects of our lives, it will soon also effect our personal
sanctuary. Computers have changed how we watch television and
read books. Software notebooks have changed our libraries, and
music
collections have gone from plastic CDs to bits of data. So what about the home
structure itself? How will new technology effect how we use
energy, water, communications, and the natural environment
surrounding the home? What might the homes of the future look
like? In this article, we take a look at changes to residential buildings that we might see in the next 10 years. |
