Lennox Uses Art to Communicate Efficiency, Intelligence & Quiet
This post is sponsored by Lennox Air Systems for the #LennoxArtProject. All opinions are my own My home is only just over 10 years old, but both my home's furnace and air conditioning system broke 2-3 years ago. It turns out that the builder had cut corners by installing a cheap, bottom-of-the-barrel heating and cooling system. As luck would have it, our furnace stopped working on a very cold winter's day and our A.C. conked out in a brutally hot summer. So, even though my husband and I had purchased a brand-new home with the thoughts of it being repair-free for at least a couple Continue reading...

How to Protect Annuals from Frost
Hi, everyone! I just finished extending my home's front flower bed. In the bed, I planted some pretty spring and summer annuals. I also spread mulch over the sunny perennial garden flower bed that extends along the southern side of my home. I spent more than 6 hours shoveling and spreading mulch! So you can imagine my dismay when I discovered that in the next few days, my area is expected to have flower-killing frost! I spent at least $30 in my annuals and don't want to see that money go to waste! So to protect my flowers, I am following these tips on how to protect annuals from Continue reading...
