Being Green isn’t easy.
Just ask a Blanchard’s Cricket frog and I’ll bet if he could talk, he’d tell you that whether it’s a habitat for frogs or for us humans, trying to be green and then staying green isn’t easy.
New Homes - Can a new homeowner even plan to “go green” and keep a yard healthy when they landscape it or is it too much? Sadly a house is more than just the TV, some furniture and a place to plugin your cell phone. In my opinion you may as well have a condo if you really don’t want the yard. more…

I can do this but it really is quite challenging at times. Finally I calm my thoughts and just sort of drift in and out with my breath. Then I start to relax and take deep breaths. Okay, then I try not to fall asleep. Okay, I take a nap.
I think naps help too. more…
