Spring Color

Having spent some time in Florida last week, I was a bit envious of the beautiful display of colors there.  Lush lawns, blooming flowers, and sprouting gardens added brightness to their yards.  Returning to New Hampshire, I was reminded that spring arrives more slowly, as I drove by yard after yard with yellow and tan lawns.  The good news was that most of the snow had disappeared during my time away.

While we can't plant much outside as this point, we can begin to plan for our growing season.  Whether it be turning over garden beds, adding mulch

Get Healthy

Two weeks into spring, it is truly beginning to feel like winter has ended.  We've experienced several days with temperatures in the 50s and almost all of the snow is gone from lawns.  But this is New England, so we haven't put our coats and gloves away yet.  We know there still will be chilly days and even the chance of more snow.

However, looking at the buds on tree branches and snow-free yards is inspiring.  The feeling of renewal is strong, which, for many, makes this the time to start a new diet and exercise regimen.  Bathing

Revamping the Outdoors

I'm not an outdoors fanatic; simple things like sub-freezing temperatures will encourage me to stay inside.  However, I do enjoy many outdoor activities, such as hiking and snowshoeing.  To me, getting to spend a little time in nature with a companion is a trifecta:  exercise, fresh air, and conversation.  It is the perfect way to spend a few hours.

One of our publications, Outdoors Eagle, was designed for those who enjoy partaking in nature.  Over the past year we have worked on creating a focus on certain activities.  Fishing, hiking, camping, biking, outdoor gear, and skiing

Meet the Team- Jacob Parzych

Interestingly, even though this writer has been working for PKP for four years, he is one of the youngest on our team.  Jacob Parzych joined the writing team in April 2009, at the ripe age of thirteen, in order to become the second Teen Perspective columnist.  Since that time he has covered other topics, including technology, pets, sports, and gaming.  Currently, you can continue to turn to Jake for the teen's eye view and information on the care and ownership of reptiles and amphibians.

Without further ado, allow me to introduce you to Jacob.

Feeding PKP

When PeKu launched in July 2008, our intent was to deliver original, high quality content.  Since that time, I believe that we have met that goal.  Every week we publish one hundred (100!) articles that offer our readers inspiration for projects, information on timely subjects, and engagement in thought-provoking topics.

I believe that our articles need to be original.  Too many publications across the Internet merely provide their readers with articles created by other sources.  Rather than producing content, these other publications simply act as delivery vehicles.  At PKP, our writers create the content that our readers enjoy.

March Ideas

In New Hampshire, March came in like a lamb.  Although it was in the 40s and overcast with occasional flurries on Friday, that really is a decent day for the end of winter.  We didn't have measurable snow, and the temperature was above freezing.  While it is a day that still requires a buttoned-up coat, the weather could be much more miserable.  We are keeping our fingers crossed that March leaves the same way that it entered.

This March is filled with a number of fun events and holidays.  Here's what exciting to us at PKP:
