Taking a Look At The Importance Of Using Reclaimed Wood In The US

From wood siding to wood restaurant table tops, there are many ways in which we use wood in our world today, not only in the United States but all around the world. Wood is infinitely versatile, and can be used in ways relating both to form and function. Design elements made from wood can add a certain elegance to any home or place of business and wood furniture is known not only for being stylish but for being long lasting as well, typically lasting as many as fifteen to twenty years, if not even longer, when it is well cared for.

But the use of wood, as versatile as it might be, can be hugely problematic. After all, with up to thirty percent of the entirety of the world covered in forest land, it is easy to see how we have assumed that we have an abundant and unlimited supply of wood.

Summer is upon us. June is the month America produces the most ice cream, and June and July are the months when we eat the most of it. But our enjoyment of delicious frozen treats doesn’t stop when the cool weather comes in.

Winery Visits Are a Popular Tourist Stop in Many Parts of the Country

When your daughter told you that she wanted an outdoor winter wedding, you were a little caught off guard. From several of the social media sites that she follows, of course, she had beautiful pictures of brides and their wedding parties surrounded by radiantly white snow. If the idea of an outdoor winter wedding in the midwest caught you off guard, that surprise paled in comparison to the idea of having a wedding at one of the are wineries.
In your day weddings were held indoors, in a church, not a snowflake to be found. And certainly no wine, unless, of course, it was a Catholic wedding and they were serving communion.

Why is July National Ice Cream Month?

It’s the law: July is National Ice Cream Month. Which works just fine, since people are eating large quantities of their favorite dessert at the hottest time of the year. When it comes to favorite desserts, ice cream beats out other sweet, frozen treats by a big margin. So the best thing is to stock up on different flavors, dessert cups, and plastic spoons and prepare for a sweet, cold summer.

Proclaiming National Ice Cream Month
July is one of the hottest months of the year. It’s also the month when the most ice cream is produced in the U.S. Coincidence? We think not! In fact, a Presidential Proclamation in 1984 said pretty much the same thing, adding that ice cream is a nutritious and wholesome food and the perfect dessert. The same proclamation declared July to be National Ice Cream Month, and the second Sunday in July to be National Ice Cream Day. America
