Thoughts for the Day
Today I am thinking about Fall and all the season brings. Halloween costumes, warm foods like soup and muffins and preparing the outdoor pets for winter.
Halloween costumes are in the works, one son would like to be "scarecrow" from Spiderman and some bats have been ordered through the new Etsy site Lifeseasoning! A Halloween party is also being discussed.................
The weather is supposed to be more like summer this weekend but I am still craving muffins and soup. I will have pumpkin muffins and other treats at my Tastefully Simple open house on Saturday so stop by if your in the neighborhood!
The outdoor pets, being rabbits, need some new hutches and a better location. The 4H club is supposed to be building hutches at the enxt meeting so hopefully that will get me started in a positive direction. It seems like a daunting task and I am determined to break it down into managable steps and see it through. Any volunteers out there?
Lately I have been very conscious about food and making it healthier. Probably because I joined committee to promote National Food Day. If you havent heard of it just google food day and check out all info and events. It's all about eating healthy, teaching our kids to eat healthy, learning where our food comes from and supporting local farms and food pantries.
Future posts will include meals I am preparing and trying to makeover for a healthy and tasty result.

Fracking
Is your water flamable? It may be someday!
Ask Your Members of Congress to Support the FRAC-Act!
Sign the petition below to ask your representative to protect your drinking water by passing the FRAC Act (S. 587 and H.R. 1084).
As a constituent, I urge you to support the Fracturing Responsibility and Awareness of Chemicals Act (FRAC Act) of 2011 (H.R. 1084 and S. 587).
It has become clear that hydraulic fracturing can threaten our drinking water, our health, and our livelihoods.
The FRAC Act would lift the exemption from regulation under the Safe Drinking Water Act granted to hydraulic fracturing in 2005. In addition, it would require oil and gas mining companies to disclose the chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing operations.
In order to protect our drinking water, our farms, and our health from the the dangers that can be brought on by fracking, I urge you to pass the FRAC Act.
Sincerely,

Turtle Saves
Anyone who really knows me, also knows how much I care about wildlife including frogs, toads and turtles. So yes, I am one of those people who stops to let them or help them cross the road. So far this year my turtle saves are four. I think they were all painted turtles, but I wil do some research and find out.
There is one turtle - I think it is the same one - that crosses Denton Lake Road on a regular basis. Next time I see it, I will mark it to be sure ( no harm will come to the turtle )
