Food security in my backyard !
Dear Evoke Agents,
Here are my top 10 reasons to add a fruit tree in our family backyard, and of course why you should try to do the same if possible:
1) My wife and I already made I visit to our regular local nursery and found a nice Peach tree that would make a good neighbor to our already present Apple tree: other neighbors will also
compliment you,
2) Both trees will appreciate the ever growing presence of our Raspberry plants, that keeps multiplying year after year: plants that we can share with others,
3) Apples, Peaches and Raspberries will provide the partial shadow required to grow our fine herbs: our own little Scarborough fair; Parsley, sage, rosemary, and thyme,
4) View that with our organic vegetables and you have a full idea of our family garden: and an idea of our healthy sun tan,
5) Secure a portion of our food needs: Apple pie and Peach crumb for Sunday night,
6) Explain to kids origins of fruits and mystery of creation: you know the bee and the flower,
7) Fruit consumption is good for your health: an Apple a day keeps the Doctor away,
8) Just as for our Apple tree, our upcoming Peach tree will make a great perch for Cardinals, Blue Jays and Hummingbirds that we can see in our area: learn how to sing as a side effect,
9) Have a new friend to talk to; it will be good for both of you: your tree will growth with your carbon dioxide and having a new friend will be good for your mental health,
10) As for our Maple tree, our Cedars, our Lilacs and our superb Magnolia usually in full bloom for mother’s day, the new Peach tree will capture carbon: breathe easier, and have a nice kiss at mother’s day; no need to detail all benefits here,

I think and I believe that you were well determined to give us something. I understand your ponints. But my concrned is that they seems and sound specific rather than to broad because we want to save the world to suvive and have sustainable Economy where people can be able to get food every morning without eating on Dustbin. I am impressed with your point structure. But the points are not facts. Yes, I agree with you that we must have friends like trees. It sound intellegent because if you have someone to ask help, you will survive. Two birds are better than One. Not relevant to our topic,mother's day unless you can illustrate your point. But I love my mother, she is the one who keep helping and believing in me. We have gone a long way with her. Maybe,you mean that we must respect and love pur parents because they help us to achieve our objectives. Family togetherness is important to fight against the struggle of poverty. During 1970s,people in one community they were able to help each other without any payment in exchange. Maybe we need to look backwards to make decisions about the future our Economy.

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
