bottom up, and place the jar mouth into the stand, making sure to keep the mouth under 

water. The fish can swim up into the jar as they wish.

Hiking Solo Tips For Woman

What is the number one rule to hiking? Never hike alone. That’s what I was taught in hiking classes, warned by friends and family and scolded by society.

Look, you’re going to do what you think is best for you. If you think that hiking alone might be for you, then follow the words of advice put together in the photo above to help you out. Gender should never limit someones experience of the great outdoors. Staying safe is always a priority and in the end  always listen to your gut. It will never let you down.

Happy Father's Day

Difference in Eggs

The color of the yolk is an indication of the presence of nutrients. The pastured egg on the left is a dark orange color. The organic store egg in the center is slightly less orange. The supermarket egg on the right is paler and might even be white were orange foods and dyes not given to the chickens. By the way, chickens producing organic eggs are mostly raised in barns, not on pasture. Conditions are certainly better than those for the typical battery egg. However, the USDA has determined that the chicken is a vegetarian, and they can be given no animal foods. Chickens are in fact, omnivores, and their eggs will be much healthier if they are getting animal foods. The pastured egg and the organic egg both have two parts to the white, a viscous part around the yolk and then a thinner part around the edges. This is a sign of freshness.
