Sunflower Festival: The Davis Feed & Farm Supply and Davis Family Farm
Sunflower honey is produced at the Davis Farm by the beekeeper’s twenty-two hives. The beekeeper harvests the honey while the sunflowers bloom, so it is pure sunflower honey. The honey yield is about 3,000 lbs. but is only enough to sell at the store. No sprays are used on the sunflowers thus making the honey safer to enjoy.
The Home that We Built
Some of the key elements of the approximately 30-month-long, multi-phased upgrade included refinishing all the main hardwood floors; the demolition/renovation of two children’s washrooms; a painting/redo of the kitchen, followed by a painting of the hallways, foyer, dining room, and den.
Taking Your Outdoor Experience to the Next Level

The Essentials of Canadian Grown Lavender
Often mistaken for a flower, lavender is in fact part of the mint family, making it an herb. It has long been noted for its strong fragrance, which has been used for masking unpleasant scents beyond just “decay” throughout history. Lavender, however, can be used as an anti-inflammatory and has huge relaxation properties, making it popular in aromatherapy and massage oils.

Becoming Wild in Amazonia
My journey into Amazonia starts in Quito, Ecuador, an ancestral gathering place of the Inca, located high up, 2850 metres (9350 feet), in the Andes mountains. From here I fly 340 km in a modest sized plane into the jungle, to Coca, an oil-based town in the Oriente, eastern lowlands of Ecuador. From Coca it’s another 100 km, down the Napo River, in a 20-metre-long motorized canoe, zooming at high speed towards Yasuni National Park.

The bright clean space with a wide counter to greet you, neat tables of bright teal and matching chairs harken back to a time when the diner was the heart of the community, the place where you could grab a quality meal and have a chat with the friendly staff.
Living with ADHD
If you know someone with ADHD, it’s important to know that life is a little more complex because of how their brain works. Think of ADHD being like other conditions that you can’t see. Invisible doesn’t mean the struggle on the inside isn’t real.
The Complex Ecosystem of Ponds
A pond is fairly easy to maintain if it’s given a little TLC when required. It’s much easier, in fact, than a pool or garden.
