Cabin for rent within 6 hour drive of PGH?
by Dora Magovern 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

I believe someone sent out information about a cabin in NE PA a while ago; I could not find it when going through old emails. I am looking for a place that my family of 4 could go for a long weekend(s) this summer. Ideally, we'd like to have a place that might allow us to bring our old dogs to swim as well. Hiking, swimming, family friendly, ideally remote. Any thoughts or leads? Thank so much, Dora P. Magovern LSW, MPH, CPH --------------------------------- "Before you act, listen.

Lard and eggs!- Singing Wren Farms
by Mike and Nicole Carlin 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

We will be in Pittsburgh THIS WEDNESDAY APRIL 18th and making deliveries after noon. I have pints of leaf lard at $10 and all natural, pasture raised eggs at $5 a dozen as well as some garlic. Call to make your order before Wed. If you haven't heard, lard has gotten a bad rap but it is starting to make a comeback. Studies are showing that lard from pasture-raised pigs is high in omega-3 fatty acids making it far healthier than many people realize. In addition to the fact that it makes the most amazing pie crust and pastry you have ever had due to the unique structure of the fat with none of the health concerns associated with hydrogenated oils. Singing Wren Farms has a limited supply of rendered leaf lard for $10 a pint. Leaf lard is the fat that surrounds the organs and is considered the pemium lard for baking. Our heritage American Guinea Hogs are raised on pasture without antibiotics or hormones with access to plenty fresh organic pasture and organic hay as well as the ability to root and create wallows. To see the hogs, go to our website at www.singingwren.farm Grow Well, Nicole Carlin 412.361.4842 <(412)%20361-4842>

Highland Park Garden Club: April 21, 2018: CHINESE GARDENS
by Highland Park Garden Club Pittsburgh 16 Apr '18

16 Apr '18

Greetings Highland Park neighbors, This month, please join us on an adventure to China. Our visiting guest speaker, Jayne Keffer will lead us on a pictorial journey to China, to their famed Scholar Gardens. We meet: 10:00 am to 12:00 pm (with the presentation on Chinese Gardens beginning at 11:00 am.) Saturday, April 21, 2018 at The Pittsburgh Theological Seminary. During her many trips to China, Jayne became fascinated with their Scholar Gardens. She was initially drawn to their beauty. However, as she immersed herself in studying and leaning about more about them, her appreciation and awe deepened. The more she learned and studied, the more intrigued she became. You can see beauty in the gardens, but as you study and learn more about them your knowledge deepens. During her presentation Jayne will explain the five elements of a Chinese garden. She will show various photos of each of those elements that she has taken during her many trips. We may all learn new design techniques that we could incorporate into our own spaces. Please join us on this fascinating voyage. Feel free to invite your friends and neighbors: our meetings are open to all. For queries and more information regarding location details, text/phone Jill at (412) 444-8044
