For father’s day we got my dad a John Deere riding lawn mower.He’s getting older but he still loves to work outside.So we got him a lawn mower with zero turn,cup holders,rear lights and BRIGHT headlights(so when it gets late out he can still see everything to finish up mowing and not have to quit),has a 3-cylinder diesel engine,and 4-WHEEL DRIVE!I think he was the happiest guy ever when we brought it home!

Ecospheres for Home or Office

EcoSphere is a calming balance of earth, water, air and life–all parts of a working self-sufficient ecosystem that’s much more than science; it’s an original work of art.

The delicate coexistence of animal and plant life (red shrimp, algae and microbes) thrives in the handblown glass sphere of seawater. It’s easy to care for–just provide sufficient light.

Dawn Redwood (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) Known only as a fossil until 1946 when a Chinese forester discovered the first living specimen in the middle of a rice paddy in Tsang Wang.

A great idea for tree lovers.

Desktop Cup Warmer

I can’t think of anything worse that working so hard, you don’t realize that your cup of coffee has gotten cold and all you can think of is a nice, warm sip to take you away…

…and you find out that it is ice cold. Yuck!

Brookstone has a desktop warmer that you can use with any cup and it’s on $25.00. I’d say that’s a decent investment to guarantee a warm cup is always at your side.

It’s Football Time

Okay, rather than cause mass chaos by giving props to my favorite college team, this time of year is always a great time to gift friends with gifts from their favorite teams. I have found appetizer platters that are hand panted, custom made purses, and just about anything you can dream up.

I *heart* football season

Giant Beanbag Chair

Does this not look totally comfortable?

Be prepared to snuggle—it’s a magnet for spouses, kids and pets (fortunately it can seat two adults, plus kids and pets, in a whole variety of configurations). Soft, durable microfiber covers resist stains and zip off easily for machine-washing. The protective inner liners provide a moisture-proof barrier and have childproof zippers. Smartly vacuum packed for shipping, these loungers expand to full size (6′ w x 6′ l x 12″ h) in 24 hours. Matching support pillow also available too!
