WELCOME

As the seasons change, so will the seasonal pictures. New articles on health, how to live well on very little and many other how to articles like the one included on using old freezers as cold storage, nurseries and dehydrators will be posted in the future. Photo tips will be part of the information as will adventure and living long and strong. The sunrise photo below was taken with a flash. In full size, the flash made the dandelions and other white objects seem to pop out of the ground. Long and strong is not just for seniors, the best time to start is when you're young and you're never too old to begin.

Some years ago I read a research project where the participants were shown pictures, in virtual reality, of cities, asphalt, high rises, country, green fields, mountains and water scenes. When the city based scenes were shown, the participants blood pressure would rise as would other indicators of stress and fight or flight. When the same participants were shown mountains, green fields and other country scenes, their blood pressure and stress signs would lower. No matter which came first, the city or country and which followed, country or city, the effect was the same. You will be able to relax when you come here. There will be no doom and gloom or other scenes of that type here. If stress and adrenaline rushes are what you need, there easy to find. The intent is to provide the visitor with a relaxing, educational, quality experience. Come back often and enjoy. Thanks, Larry
