What to Give Dad for Father’s Day

AAA TREE SERVICE

It is true that the best gifts are the ones that are sincere and unexpensive, most of the best things in life are so simple but so important for the well being such as air, sun and time... and most importantly they are FREE. 

Since we are talking about a celebration as Father's Day we always want to go beyond to show that person we love them and we thought of them but then again what to give to a man who has everything he wants? With mother's is more simple like flowers or cards but with fathers it can be tricky sometimes.

For Fathers Day We can also keep it simple, it doesn't always need to be a hassle, many times we don't realize that men are simpler than women. Always go for what they like but then again if you have given something they like in yrs prior how many times can you repeat this over and over right? so here are some inexpensive and thoughtful ideas for father's day.

Make a Coupon Book. Maybe there are many things he would like to do with his time but since hes taking care of other things he really doesnt find time to.

Think about giving him maybe 10-15 coupons offering your services or activities maybe he does need a partner in crime. They can include maybe washing the car, going to the movies w him, going to eat steak, or even giving him 1-2 hrs free while you are doing something for him so he can watch some T.V. This is easy and you get to realize and get to know your father better, the list of things can be wide.

Homemade Treats: Tasty home-baked goods make fool-proof gifts. Whip up a cobbler or pie with luscious local summer fruit. If your dad is trying to eat more healthfully, encourage him by preparing a recipe that incorporates whole grains and goes easy on the sugar. For a more long-lasting gift, prepare some pickles or a homemade jam .

Old Photos Can Be Fun (and Embarrassing). Surely in a closet somewhere are some old photos of the family at play. Find the box (or boxes) and bring them out on Father's Day. Pass them around and ask Dad what he remembers about the experience in the photo. This is guaranteed to generate both laughs and tears. And it will help you connect with the "old man." And remember, no snickers about his hair, his clothes, or those funky sideburns!

Beyond the Gym: Many dad-types I know are constantly trying to stay in shape or shape up. Why not turn introduce your dad to a new form of exercise? Trying a new form of physical activity can be deeply rewarding, even if it doesn't 'stick' or become your dad's go-to work-out. It's kind of like eating cereal with your non-dominant hand -- a great way to engage your brain. You could set your dad up with a private lesson at a his local yoga studio or a pack of beginner's classes or even an instructional dvd. He might be particularly tickled if the sport in question sounds somewhat obscure -- like gyrotonic or tai chi. If those sounds a bit posh for your dad's taste maybe give him a badminton or petanque set instead.

Long Distance. If you aren't at home or near enough to make a personal visit on Father's Day, consider some ways to narrow the distance. Instead of a card, how about a letter sharing your feelings and memories about your dad? Could you make a picture collage of some of your favorite dad times? How about a long and chatty phone call? You can still give of yourself, even if the miles and the time zones might separate you.

Why The Sun Is Good

FOR years we have been told to cover up in the sun to cut the risk of getting skin cancer. But now it seems that a little bit of sunshine on your body is actually good for you.

Studies have shown that a sensible amount of sun reduces your risk of several cancers and other serious health conditions.

And it's all thanks to vitamin D, which is made by our bodies through the action of the sun's UVB rays on our skin.

Even the Stone Age people knew the Sun brought life on Earth and that is why they used to worship it. But the sun waves can heal and destroy, they can be the kiss of life or death. It depends on the way we use them. 

1. The sunlight kills microbes. That's why it is important to put out in the sun carpets, blankets and eiderdowns that cannot be washed regularly. Exposure to the sun confers the skin a bright, healthy look and increased elasticity. 

A moderately tanned skin is more resistant to infections and sun burning than an untanned one. Many skin diseases (dermatitis) can be controlled and even cured through controlled exposure to the sun. The sun rays are proven to strengthen the immune system. 

2. Due to the sun our mood and morals improve. Sunlight helps in cases of chronic or acute depression, by stimulating the synthesis of endorphins (good-feeling hormones). That's why we get depressed in the cold and dark days of the winter. 

3. The sun is good against insomnia. Daytime exposure to sunlight increases the melatonin production during the night. This hormone helps regulate the sleep. 

4. Under the action of the sunlight, the skin synthesizes vitamin D, which makes possible calcium absorption in the intestine, helping the organism grow strong bones. This way the sun prevents rachitism in both children and adults and osteoporosis in elders. 

5. As vitamin D and some related compounds impede the development of some cancer cells, we can say the sun fights off this disease. Regular and controlled exposure to the sun has a preventive effect against cancer of colon, breast, leukemia and lymphomas. 

6. Exposure to the sun strengthens the cardiovascular system. Blood circulation is improved, the pulse, arterial pressure, moderately high glycemia and cholesterol levels can be normalized.

7. Sun rays improve liver functioning, being effective in treating jaundice.

8. They help the kidneys with a part of their job, as the sun waves favor the elimination of waste products through the skin, when we sweat.

9. The sun also helps losing weight by increasing the metabolic rate through the stimulation of the thyroid. It also eases symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. 

10. The sun rays also ease the healing of the swollen joints during peaks of inflammation in cases of arthritis.

Are You Ready For Atlantic Hurricane Season?

June 1^st marks the official date of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. With that said, it isn’t a bad idea to prepare a comprehensive plan for the upcoming season.

Some of the first steps in preparing your house are to stock up on nonperishable items and water. Next, set aside flashlights, extra batteries and lanterns. If you are on special medications, make sure you are stocked up to date in case you are unable to leave your home for a few days. Also, plan an evacuation route. 

Once you’ve got the indoors under control, it’s time to focus on your outdoor property. Even though water and wind account for much of the damage caused by a hurricane, falling trees and flying debris also add to the destruction.

In order to avoid maximum destruction that trees can cause, proper maintenance needs to be done to keep your trees healthy. This includes pruning, watering and fertilization. Many people also choose to board their windows when a hurricane may be approaching to protect the glass from debris. Most of the time, a lot of the debris comes from your backyard including flying patio furniture or lawn ornaments. It is important to make sure all of these items are locked down and secure if you’re expecting a hurricane.

There is no way to make your property 100% safe from hurricane destruction. Although, taking some of these steps can minimize the damage the layout of your landscape can cause to your home in the event of a hurricane. 

What steps have you taken to prepare your house for a hurricane? Let us know on AAA Tree Services Facebook Page linked here! And don't forget to bookmark our page in case of an emergency- we are your EMERGENCY TREE SERVICE PROFESSIONALS!

 Honors mothers and motherhood
In the United states its celebrated the second sunday of May

THIS YEAR IS SUNDAY, MAY 12TH

Mother's Day is a celebration honoring mothers and motherhood, maternal bonds, and the influence of mothers in society. It is celebrated on various days in many parts of the world, most commonly in March, April or May. It complements Father's Day, a celebration honoring fathers.
Mother's Day is an American invention, and it is not directly descended from the many celebrations of mothers and motherhood that have occurred throughout the world over thousands of years, such as the Greek cult to Cybele, the Roman festival of Hilaria, or the Christian Mothering Sunday celebration. Despite this, in some countries Mother's Day has become synonymous with these older traditions.

In the United States, Mother's Day remains one of the biggest days for sales of flowers, greeting cards, and the like; Mother's Day is also the biggest holiday for long-distance telephone calls

Memorial Day

When: The last Monday in May.

Memorial Day is officially celebrated on the last Monday during the month of May. Memorial Day is dedicated to service men and women who gave their lives for freedom and country. It is also a time to remember loved ones who have passed away. The roots of Memorial Day go back to 1865 and the end of the Civil War.

Memorial Day was traditionally held on the 30th of May. In 1971, Congress changed it to the last Monday in order to afford a three day holiday weekend. Regardless of the date, we encourage you to attend a parade, and to visit a cemetery to honor and remember our servicemen . Take time to remember lost loved ones in whatever way you feel appropriate.

Houseplant Appreciation Day (February 10th)

AAA TREE SERVICE

631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716

www.AAATreeServiceNY.com

 

The holidays are over. The decorations have been put away for another year. The house looks a little plain, a little drab. In the greyishness of January, your eye catches something in the corner of the room. Why, it's a houseplant! Funny, but with all of the holiday hubabuloo, you've all but forgotten your houseplants.

Today is THE day to get back to tending to, and loving your houseplants. And, it's also a day to appreciate just how special and important they are. They are therapeutic, lifting your mood and outlook. They add warmth and a calming effect. If you are a gardner, they give you an opportunity to play in the dirt, until spring arrives in the far, distant future.

Growing houseplants is pretty easy. They need a little sunlight, water, occasional nutrients, and a little love..

How to Celebrate Houseplant Appreciation Day:

There are lots of ways to celebrate and enjoy this day. They include:

· Start by making sure that the houseplants you already have, are well watered. Give them a special treat today... a little fertilizer.

· If you do not have any houseplants, or just have a couple, buy a new houseplant (or two) on this day).

· Learn more about the benefits of houseplants to your health.

· Stand by your houseplant and breath in the air! It's giving off oxygen.

· Teach your kids about growing and caring for plants.

· Give a houseplant to a friend, especially the elderly or shut-ins.

· Talk to your plants. Yes, people believe plants respond positively, when you talk to them.

Origin of  Houseplant Appreciation Day:

 

This holiday was created by the folks at The Gardener's Network

It was created for two reasons:

1.      To remind people after the holidays, that their forgotten houseplants need a little attention.

2.      To celebrate beneficial houseplants and to encourage growing houseplants.

Have You Ever Wonder How They Name Hurricanes and Storms?

AAA TREE SERVICE

631-993-1039 / 516-659-4716

www.AAATreeServiceNY.com

The actual system isnt complicated everything is based on latitude and longitude of a storm which is how the meteorologists track them, but they needed a system to recognize them.  

Back in 1953, the National Weather Service needed to tell the public which storm and the way of such so they picked up the tradition of the naval meteorologist of naming the storms after women just like they used to with ships but in 1979 male names were included.
Usually storm names get recycle but due to the impact some make and all the disaster they cause  hey think is not appropriate to repeat certain names so they take those particular names off the list.  
2013 Storm names are :
Andrea, Barry, Chantal, Dorian, Erin, Fernand, Gabrielle, Humberto, Ingrid, Jerry, Karen, Lorenzo, Melissa, Nestor, Olga, Pablo, Rebekah, Sebastien, Tanya, Van & Wendy

Your Trees & The Hurricane

Tree Damage can be one of the saddest and most worrisome results of any hurricane or severe storm. Trees are very important for humans and the earth. In terms of safety they can be damage structures during a hurricane.

Knowing which trees to plant, where to plant them, and how to prepare existing trees for hurricane season can greatly reduce the risk of lost or damaged trees.  

There are some steps you can take on your own, but for best results, rely on the experience of your tree service professional. Have a tree expert remove dead trees and dread tree limbs and evaluate the health of trees near enough to fall on your (or your neighbor's) house. Your tree service professional is your greatest tool in preventative care to make less the damage.

Pruning is crucial in allowing a tree to grow strong which reduces the factors of causing damage. Trees need to be pruned selectively to allow wind passage, encourage strong branch angles and encourage a healthy center of gravity so it doesn't incline and falls. 

Another concern is leaf debris. Tree leaves and pine needles can clog house gutters. The excess water increases the weight in the gutters and may cause them to fail and clog. The pooling water can overflow and cause wood rot and even enter the exterior wall resulting in Sheetrock damage inside your home. Make sure gutters and downspouts are clean in advance of inclement weather. If you see plants growing in your gutters, it is time to clean them!

Dangerous Trees to Have In Your Property

The statement says: "Plant A Tree, Write A Book, Have a Son" 

Every year trees fall causing big accidents and millions of dollars to home owners all across the country. That's why many times home owners have decided to cut down their tall trees.

Most of homeowners love their trees and would rather not get rid of them but these trees can be dangerous at times, that's why you should know which trees are the most common and can be dangerous so you can avoid an accident. 


Probably one of the most common dangerous tree that you can have around your home is: 

 PINES     

Pines are native of the Northern Hemisphere

Pine trees can be potentially dangerous to a property and specially a home if they are located very close to it, because they grow very tall and heavy but at the same time its roots don't grow very deep bellow the ground point.  That's why every time there are even potentially high winds or storms pines may be the ones on inclining and can cause big damage if they actually fall on your home. 

We would recommend to consult a tree specialist and get a free estimate to see how dangerous your trees can be to your property.
