Get Your Sleep

Just one extra hour of sleep a day appears to lower the risk of developing calcium deposits in the arteries, a precursor to heart disease.

Basil & How To Store For Winter

Look For my second book coming out this spring.  All you need to know about gardening.

1)Pick fresh basil in the morning while the oils are at the fullest.

2) wash them and then put them in a food processor with a little
butter or oil and give it a whirl.

3) pour it into ice cube trays and freeze. After frozen put into
freezer bags and freeze. If you use oil or butter in the above step
and not water you can use them for just about anything.

Another method
Lay clean basil on a cookie sheet and put in the oven and dry them. I
have a gas oven so i just leave the pilot to do its work during the
night. I then put into a pint jar in my spice section.

Don’t Rush Things In Life

Sometimes the way to move ahead faster is to slow down. Sometimes the way to get more done is to stop trying so hard.
When you’re relentlessly pushing yourself, then the pushing becomes your focus and you can lose sight of your true objective. When you’re constantly busy being constantly busy, it can be easy to forget what you seek to accomplish.
Hurrying through a task can burn you out and create mistakes that you’ll have to spend more time fixing. Keep in mind that sprinting is not a workable strategy for winning a marathon.
Slowing down to a sustainable pace can actually make the results come faster. Remember that your goal is not simply to be busy, but to accomplish something of value with your efforts.
Take a deep breath, calm your mind, and focus your thoughts on where you’re going. There is much power in moving thoughtfully and deliberately.
Time and steady persistence will achieve much more than frantic, hurried turmoil. Go fast enough to get it done, yet slow enough to get it right.
