		<title>Potpourri</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The year has fled by yet again and now it&#8217;s time to think about making some gifts for the holidays.
This year I&#8217;ve decided to give some potpourri. Potpourri is usually a mixture of dried, naturally fragrant plant material, used to provide a agreeable natural scent in houses. You can place it in bowls or small [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gogreenbird.wordpress.com&blog=5308143&post=219&subd=gogreenbird&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Dried Cinnamon Apples</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a great way to preserve fruit for the winter. This also makes a nice gift when placed in a pretty jar and tied with a ribbon.
I have a dehydrator, but you can dry foods in your oven just as well. I also use my car to dry food on hot days.  Just roll [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gogreenbird.wordpress.com&blog=5308143&post=211&subd=gogreenbird&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Pear Preserves</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I live on .25 acre. An amazing amount of food grows here-a lot of it without a lot of help from me. I was lucky enough to have mature fruit trees already here when I got my house. I have them pruned every year or so, and that&#8217;s about it.
This time of year the bounty [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gogreenbird.wordpress.com&blog=5308143&post=194&subd=gogreenbird&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>HEAT WAVE</title>
		<description><![CDATA[105. That&#8217;s what the sign said as I dove past at about 3:00 this afternoon. Whew.  It&#8217;s August all right.
Over the years I have learned how to keep my house cool-at least relatively-during these heat waves.
When it starts to heat up outside we shut all the windows and doors. We always have fans going.  I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gogreenbird.wordpress.com&blog=5308143&post=188&subd=gogreenbird&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Home Made Vegan Pudding</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A friend and I were talking recently and the subject of pudding came up. She mentioned how much she liked it, and so I asked her if she ever made it. &#8220;It&#8217;s too hard, isn&#8217;t it?&#8221; she asked me. So, I invited her over and we had a pudding making party. She was impressed with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gogreenbird.wordpress.com&blog=5308143&post=170&subd=gogreenbird&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Ripe Cherries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s Cherry Day!
This morning I decided it was time for Cherry Day; an annual event around here.  The vacant lot behind my house has some old and productive Queen Ann&#8217;s cherry trees  planted on the edge of my place. They hang over my yard.  So I consider the cherries in my yard mine.  I like [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gogreenbird.wordpress.com&blog=5308143&post=149&subd=gogreenbird&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Planting of the Greenhouse</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Finally, it&#8217;s time to plant. I had already added some organic compost and worm castings to the soil. I cheated this year and bought starts-but I won&#8217;t have to next year!  I have  3 varieties of   tomatoes with 10 in all, 2 bell peppers (1 is setting flowers already!) and a acorn squash.
