Compare that to our old home town, Chicago, which averages 36.9 Then we can reuse the water to water our garden. Instead of letting that water go down the drain, he collects it in a bowl to water our garden. Plant our garden where it receives some shade. My family and I just recently moved to Tucson, Arizona.

If you own your home, and keep it long enough, eventually you will have the pleasure of replacing the roofing. We (read that my spouse) put a new roof on our starter home. We had our current home re-roofed when it was only 13 years old. He and a carpenter buddy did the work themselves. It keeps the mold and mildew from growing.

Isn’t wonderful to be able to attract the wild birds to your garden and help them out with extra food and a place to nest during a harsh winter? Squirrels can be really fun to watch in your garden but when they eat more than their fair share of the food you’ve carefully put out for the birds, they tend to over-stay their welcome.

It is a perfect fit for me, as frugality is my hobby and passion, but I also find myself very attracted to the “go green” movement. The fact that the Prairie EcoThrifter focuses heavily on both topics – frugality and green living – really appealed to me. For the most part, I am perfectly happy being at home.
