People helping people, making a difference in the world, one step at a time...
The CountryTime Gazette Online is an archive of our most popular articles relating to home improvement, self-reliance, fishing, the environment, farm & garden, animals & pets, health & nutrition, food & recipes, recreation & fitness, family fun, education and parenting.
If you are looking for more information on Green Building and Resources visit the Home Resource page. For Resources that can help you garden in a more ecological manner be sure to check out the Garden Resource page.
Also be sure to visit our NEW Heat & Power Page for details on the BEST QUALITY & PERFORMANCE Outdoor Wood Furnace on the market!
We have researched them all and believe the Shaver Wood Furnaces to be the best value for an affordable price. They stand behind their product with a GREAT Warranty and the Shaver Wood Furnaces are easy to maintain.
We are currently adding information on wood furnaces, renewable energy products and on-demand hot water systems because we have seen a HUGE increase in the demand for information about saving energy and alternatives to gas & propane.
As most people are aware gas prices continue to rise, as does the cost of natural gas, propane and home heating oil. Business contacts have shared with us that this coming winter season will be extremely costly for everyone and to prepare NOW. Weather forecasters are predicting an extremely long, severely COLD season. So, whether or not you invest in a wood furnace, have some plan for an alternative heat source to offset rising costs and the possibility of shortages...(even if it's just a small wood stove)
On the Resources page you will find listings and links to many types of businesses, most are local to the South-Central area of Wisconsin and others are in the online community. Many of these companies offer products and services to help you on your journey to self-reliance and living in harmony with the environment.
Our Events page features what's happening in the South-Central Wisconsin area and is updated on a monthly basis.
NEW feature articles on a variety of topics are added on a regular basis so bookmark this page and check back soon.
To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelligent persons and the
affection of children, to earn the approbation of honest critics; to appreciate beauty;
to give of one's self, to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child,
a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed
with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed
easier because you have lived--that is to have succeeded.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
