The Vermont Estate Thermometer is the largest window thermometer on the market, bar none. This thermometer stretches over 38" from tip to tip with gigantic 1-1/8" numbers and with its spirit gauge accuracy, there'll be no guessing about the temperature. The solid brass components have been antiqued to a warm patina. An optical
quality acrylic tube assures clarity and rigidity, while keeping the weight down to
facilitate mounting. Non- mercury thermometers, such our column thermometers, use
pigmented mineral spirits and have proven to be just as accurate as mercury thermometers
(+/- 1°F in the middle of the range). Even these huge thermometers use only a few drops.

| What is a hygrometer? Hygrometers measure the moisture content of the air to determine its relative humidity. Conant Custom Brass mechanical hygrometers take advantage of a time-tested method in which a synthetic fiber lengthens or shortens based on its absorption of moisture from the air. As the humidity changes, the internal coil, made of a layer of the moisture-sensitive fiber bonded to a strip of metal, expands or contracts to control the pointer. 45% to 70% relative humidity is generally considered to be comfortable.

The
Original Davis Hill Weather Stick®From product tag: "Weather Sticks, from the folks on Davis Hill, will tell you what the weather is doing. With good weather about they point to the sky; and when things aren't so pleasant they will point to the ground. Folks on Davis Hill don't know why, but Old Timers had faith in them. Mount it outdoors with the nail up. Under an eave, on a window frame, or out on a garage wall. Anywhere where you can see it from inside. These country Weather Sticks are harvested at the right time of year and carefully prepared and dried. When first put up they will take a short while to get used to your house so be patient with them and they will serve you well for a long time. Some as long as 15-years so you won't need another for quite a while." 12-16" long. $5.95 |
Maine Woodsman's Weather
Sticks have been predicting the weather, delighting their owners, and amazing
new acquaintances all around the world for years. Long before that the Abanaki Indians
probably used them as hostess gifts when they went to dinner in neighboring wigwams! Hang
on an outside wall or door casing exposed to the weather, stick bends down to foretell
foul weather up for fair (unless you've hung it upside down - the hole goes on top)!

| Harmony Hollow® hand crafted fine cast bronze wind bells and chimes - handsome outdoor decorative accessories for your back yard or patio. Each bell comes with a "story card" tag with and appropriately beautiful message. | |||
"When I hear the bell, my heart remembers you and the Mother's love you expressed in countless ways over endless days. I hear your voice soothing hurts, reading stories, sharing memories. I recall with childish pleasure parties and presents and goodnight kisses. But most of all I cherish how you taught me to live in the world, gave me freedom to grow and the desire to learn and wise counsel when I faltered. On this day set aside to celebrate Mothers, I ring the bell in honor of you, offer heartfelt thanks for attentions you lavished on me, and promise to use all you gave me wisely and well, as a testament of my love for you.

Housewarming Bell"The term housewarming comes from the old custom of hanging up a pot-hook. It was our ancestors' gesture which preceded their igniting a central fire for the light and for warmth, thereby creating the heart of the home. Hanging up this HOUSEWARMING BELL is intended to do the same, to transform a house into a home, by establishing harmony between occupant and dwelling through repetitive, peaceful, sacred sound. With each and every ring a positive connection is amplified. As your sense of place is echoed in the bronze of the bell, the heart of your home will grow stronger. May a song of gratitude be carried on the wind. " |
Remembrance Bell"Remembrance Bell Angels are intermediaries between Heaven and Earth, symbolizing our souls' passage to the starry heavens, and stars represent spirits of those who have passed on, shimmering in the night sky. As Mother Nature's breath, the wind, gives ringing voice to this Remembrance Bell, may it bring to mind not only the spirits who have ascended to the evening galaxies but also the timeless continuities of life flowing from our ancestors through us to our descendants." |

Why Beneficial Insects?Beneficial insects are your best defense in natural, non-chemical biological control of destructive insects. With ever rising restrictions on toxic insecticides, biological control is becoming more and more popular as gardeners look for alternatives to healthy gardens and yards. We offer healthy summer stock ladybeetles, the best known of all beneficial insects for control of aphids and spider mites. They feed on different soft-bodies insects with aphids being their main food source. Summer stock ladybeetles tend to stay around, lay eggs, and their larvae emerge hungry and ready to consume another 5,000 or so aphids. Ours are shipped in cotton sacks to ensure safe and healthy arrival. $11.95 per ½-pint covers up to 2,500 square feet. Available May & June. |

Mason Bees
Our 1st experience with Mason Bees, nature's great pollinators, was the spring of 2002. They've been a huge hit ever since with gardeners and nature buffs alike. There are many species of Orchard Mason bees, only Osmia Lignaria is native to our area (eastern North America). They are 66% the size of the European honey bee, non-aggressive, and
virtually "sting-less". They simply will not attack either singularly or
en-masse. Why are Orchard Mason bees so popular? By inviting them into your habitat you increase pollination in and around your gardens ensuring beautiful blossoms, and fruit for wildlife. They are also fascinating to watch and a pleasant learning activity for children. For more information ask for our free pamphlet on Orchard Mason bees.
