Today's poem was written by Elise Smith - a former nursing manager, author, blogger, busy mom... she manages a full schedule, that is for sure. Elise has has published 4 books, holds a creative writing diploma & contributes articles to this blog fairly often. .  Elise invites our readers to connect via  Facebook   or  Instagram . Downpour Pitter, patter, trickle and pour, Drip, drop, plop bouncing off my umbrella. Splish, sploshing in the puddles, BOOM, zap, crack! The sky is alive and aglow, Glaring me in the eye. The howling gales blows through me, I lose my feet, I land in a heap. Soaked through to my shivering core, More and more she pours. I’d rather be sipping hot cocoa, warm and dry. Than slipping and dripping, wet through. ~~~   Discover the Brummet's Books on Amazon :  https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B0845RLK1X  Find Them Online via :  https://taplink.cc/brummet  https://linktr.ee/LillianBrummet ~~~ ...

Fellow Canadian Nancy Guitar, host of the Small Talk Podcast , and I met just last December but quickly became fast friends due to having so much in common and being like minded. In fact, she interviewed me on her show in February of this year, and we had such a great time that we'll do a few more of those in as time moves forward. Nancy invites today's readers to visit her FaceBook page, and listen to the incredible array of discussions on her podcast at: www. youtube.com/@nancyguitar625 World Of Podcasting - Interview   Q: Nancy could you tell our readers a little about your upbringing, your history? A:  I was born in the spring of 1948 in a small town Northern New Brunswick (Canada); t he 3rd youngest of 12. Winters were harsh, our house was situated in the middle of a field. There was no insulation, no indoor plumbing and no central heating - as such i llness played a huge role in my early years, when at 9 months of age, I was hospitalized for over 3 months. Because I...

Today's increasing energy costs, shrinking budgets and stagnant wages are a growing concern. For those of us living in the more extreme climates that require extra heating in the winter months or relief from the blazing summer heat, there are tricks to increase our comfort and lower those bills.  Windows are one of the worst sources of energy waste. Older windows especially, however even the double or tripled glazed windows will leak if they aren’t maintained properly. The first thing to do is to wander the exterior of the building and caulk any gaps between the window and the window frame, and then between the window frame and the exterior wall. Go inside, and repeat the process. Some homes already have storm windows, but if you don't, it is easy to construct your own using clear plastic and a wooden frame made to the exact size of each window. Use wing nuts to easily secure the frame in place. In the spring remove the frames and store in a safe place for future use. It is hel...
