The North Houston Tea Party movement continues. This tea party took place at Sam Houston Raceway Park the night before the 2009 elections. I knew there was a lot of people and have now heard between 10,000 to 15,000 people showed up.
The speakers were great. I think my favorite was Lord Christopher Monckton. He debunks Al Gore's "Inconvenient Truth" and all the global warming theories. This you tube video was taken in St. Paul Minnesota. He talks about the Copenhagen conference that is coming up and how important it is that our President does not sign. Should he sign it would make us a one world government. Please take the time to watch it.

I feel that I need to apologize for my pictures. Nightime pictures are not my forte and these pictures are not as crisp and clear as I usually put up but I decided that the content was so important that I put them up any way._________________________________________________________________________________________________

Shortly after moving to Spring TX we were introduced to the book Gulf Coast Gardening by Randy Lemmon. We have lived in 4 different states and one of the things we have learned along the way is to plant according to what plants are native to the area. We started listening to Randy Lemmon's garden-line
Saturday mornings on 740AM and ended up purchasing his book Gulf Coast Gardening. His book is now tattered and dog eared but has helped us to find plants that are native to our area.
We have heard Randy Lemmon talk about raised bed gardening for years but kept putting it off. For our fall garden we finally started our raised beds. We intend to make 5 raised beds but to start off we made two. (We probably would have done all 5 but I wasn't ready to give up my okra). I figured two beds were enough for my winter garden.
We decided on a very simple process. We bought untreated wood and my husband put them together. On Randy Lemmon's advice we put layers of newspaper before we put our soil in the beds. I can attest to this helping with the weed problem. Randy recommended using two parts Rose soil and one part organic compost but we found that to be a bit expensive so we decided to use a garden mix.
I am AMAZED at the difference I am seeing between the plants in the raised beds and the plants that are not in raised beds. I found that I had more plants than I had room in the raised beds so I planted the same plants in the beds that were not raised. You can look and see the difference for yourself. We are already eating bib lettuce from the raised bed gardens but the bib lettuce in the regular garden isn't ready yet. I thinks sometimes a picture speaks louder than a thousand words and I'm now a big proponent of raised bed gardening.
Randy Lemmon was recently at our local Ace Hardware to answer questions and sign books. I wrote a post about it at The Woodlands Ace Hardware - Customer appreciation Day!! I had thought about thanking him for his raised bed gardening advice but the line to talk to him was long so this post will have to suffice as my thank you.

The Woodlands Ace Hardware is located at the corner of Kuykendahl and Woodlands Parkway. They have quickly become my favorite hardware store. This is the second time that I have written a post about The Woodlands Ace Hardware. You will find the first one at Ace Hardware in The Woodland
s TX!!
We love our Woodlands Ace Hardware and they also love us. This last Saturday The Woodlands Ace Hardware had customer appreciation day. I had went in on Friday to buy a package of Tortilla soup (you heard me right Tortilla soup) and the friendly gal behind the counter let me know that the next day was customer appreciation day and Randy Lemmon from Garden Line would be there for a book signing and to answer our questions. She also told me a clown would be there for the children and the boy scouts would be cooking hot dogs.
I am a big fan of Randy Lemmon so I decided if I could go that I would. We already have an autographed copy of Randy Lemmon's book so I just went for the fun of it. If you have not listened to Garden Line you should check it out on Saturday and Sunday mornings. He is on AM 740 and is on until 10:00 AM. That is a time I am often out showing houses and I have learned so much listening to his program. I FINALLY decided to take his advice and do raised garden beds. We have finished two beds with three more in the planning stages. We used his recommendations from Gulf Coast gardening and the plants in the raised bed are 
twice the size of the same plants that are not in a raised beds. I was surprised to see him at my local The Woodlands Ace Hardware but found that very cool as I love that store. There was a line circling to the back of the store. It appeared he had sold out all the copies of his book but everyone was in line with their problem plants in hand.
The Woodlands Ace Hardware has something for everyone so in not leaving the children out; they also had a clown with her monkey friend Abby. I was TOTALLY enamored with Abby. I have never paid much attention to monkeys but according to her owner someone forgot to tell Abby that she was a monkey. Monkeys tend to have a reputation for being a little on the mean side but Abby is a jewel. Her owner the clown was blowing up balloons and entertaining everyone with Abby all at the same time. Abby's owner said she had 4 monkeys but the other three lived up to that mean reputation. We lost our sweet chocolate Labrador named Abby this last January and Abby the monkey lived up to Abby's sweet loveable personality. To see more pictures of sweet Abby please visit Speechless Sunday - Monkey See, Monkey Do!
It was a beautiful day and the boy scouts were set up outside with a hot dog stand and sodas. I love seeing the scouts involved in our community. There was also free popcorn on the inside as The Woodlands Ace Hardware has a pop corn machine for their customers.
I need to make a correction from my first post. I had said that I thought The Woodlands Ace Hardware was a franchise. I heard back from the owner and it is a coop. This means that each store is independently owned. The Ace Corporation is a privately held corporation which is actually owned by the store owners. There are 4900 Ace stores and 2800 stockholder. No matter how many stores you own you only get one vote.
I have been so pleased with our new The Woodlands Ace Hardware located just 5 minutes from where I live in Spring. I use to yawn when my husband said he needed to go the hardware store but now 9 times out of 10 I tell him I will go along. They are doing a great job of providing a wide assortment of items. My husband can find sprinkler accessories for our sprinkler system while I am shopping for exotic spices and soups. I just heard recently that most of their items are made in America. I don't know how true that is I guess I need to check that one out with the owner of The Woodlands Ace Hardware. That should be easy to do as I often see him in the store with a smile on his face servicing his customers. I think Ace is the helpful Hardware Store!!

Spring Texas real estate is plentiful with new custom homes, new builder homes, and resale homes available. Housing Prices Range from $70,000 to over $1,000,000. Homes on land are getting a little harder to find but there are still some properties available where you can get small acreage sites with a home. Spring is an easy commute in to Houston. It is also very assessible to all the amenities of The Woodlands..
Spring Texas covers a large geographic area located along I-45, about 20 miles north of Houston. Most of Spring is in unincorporated Northwest Harris County but part of Spring extends in to unincorporated Montgomery County. Spring" does not have official boundaries since it is not incorporated; there is not an actual town of Spring. The area is close enough to Houston to be able to enjoy the amenities but far enough away to still feel like you are in the country. It is very accessible to the amenities of the Woodlands
The Spring area covers three different school districts. To the east of I-45 in Harris county you will find Spring ISD. To the west of I-45 also in Harris county is Klein ISD and to the north in Montgomery county is Conroe ISD.
Golf is big around the Spring area with many golf course communities such as Augusta Pines, Gleannloch Farms
, Windrose and Northampton to name a few. They all offer exceptional amenities with a variety of lakes, walking paths, aquatic centers, equestrian complexes and community centers.
The area was settled by German immigrants in 1840. The Wunsche family settled in the area and began farming the land. The area had a tremendous growth after the railroad was built through the town in 1871. The town served as a railroad center in the early 1900's. You can visit the Spring Texas Historical Museum to find out a more complete history of the area.
Old Town Spring is a restored railroad village of the early 1900s with some 150 shops featuring antiques, arts, crafts, clothing, and restaurants. It is open Tues.-Sat. 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., Sun. noon- 5 p.m. I-45 at Spring Cypress Road, Exit 70A, and one mile east.
The area is booming with many new shopping facilities opening up. A new Wal-mart has been built at the corner of 2920 and Kuykendahl which has made shopping much more accessible for the rural areas of Spring.
Tomball Texas is located approximately 28 miles northwest of Houston along State Highway 249. Unlike most of Northwest Harris County which is unincorporated the city of Tomball is an actual town. The City of Tomball has a local government, city ordinances, public works, city council, community center. The City's slogan is the hometown with a heart and with the warm friendly people they truly are.
With a rich history; the town has been around for over 90 years. It was first a railroad town and then became an oil town. The town was named after State Senator Thomas Henry Ball in 1907. Thomas Ball helped the town get established as a railroad center. Dramatic changes happened back in 1933 when oil hit. A 100-foot gusher totally changed the area attracting hundreds of new people to the community. The city made a deal with Humble Oil and Gas allowing them to drill in the city. As part of the agreement the residents had free oil and gas for 50 years. The town was featured in Ripley's Believe It or Not as being the only city with free gas and water and no cemetery.
Magnolia Texas is located about 45 minutes to an hour from the city. If you are looking for a home on land close to the city this is the place to go. Magnolia TX Real estate is booming with country subdivisions popping up all over the place. All you have to do to enjoy the landscape is look around you will find beautiful forest, rolling hills and much more. The town in the last few years has experienced phenomenal growth.
Horses and Magnolia TX goes together. This is the area where you can find horse property and still be able to commute to the city. The town has several stores that stock feed, supplies, tack, clothing and more. It is not hard to find veterinary services in and around the Magnolia area. If you don't have a horse, no problem, there are plenty of horses for sale around Magnolia. Typically the country subdivisions will allow one horse per acre.
The town of Magnolia is actually very small as you enter the city there is a sign that says population 1,111. Now the market area of Magnolia is HUGE. It extends from FM 2978 to the East of the town of Magnolia clear over to Roberts Cemetery Road on the west side of Magnolia
The Woodlands located along I-45, about 25 miles north of Houston in Montgomery county. The newest village is being built in Harris County just to the south. It is one of the original master planned communities in the nation. From its inception in 1974, the Woodlands have continued its concept of blending nature with today's modern conveniences. This creates a lifestyle unequalled almost anywhere in America. The Woodlands is nestled in 27,000 acres of towering pines, oaks, dogwoods and other assorted vegetation. You sometimes feel like you have to search through the trees to find anything but that is the ambiance of the Woodlands.
Community service organizations organize resident programs such as The Woodlands Watch and they also provide resident forums for community involvement. Some of the community events that are organized include a Fourth of July parade, the First NightTM New Year's Eve celebration, National Night Out, art shows, flea markets, Earth Day, and dozens of other neighbor-to
-neighbor events. The developer is always looking for ways to better the Woodlands, such as giving Free trees away on Arbor Day. Free seeds are made available at the wildflower festival through the Lion's Club. Some other events in the village centers include Pumpkinmania and Halloween costume contests, a Winter Festival, and an annual Heart Walk.
The Woodlands newest village The Village of Creekside Park has their grand opening in October of 2007. Creekside Village is being built on 3,492 acres and they are planning for 7,100 residences. There will be a mixture of single family homes, age qulified homes (55 and over), multi family residences and custom and estate homes in the gated community of Carlton Woods Creekside. Rob Fleming Park will be opening in the first phase. The park is named for Texas Parks and Wildlife Naturalist and artist Rob Fleming. The park has playgrounds, picnic areas, tree lined promenades and will be surrounded by wildflowers.
