We had a lot of fun on Easter this year at Heart to Home. Prior to Easter we worked on some tasty treats, filled Easter eggs for our visitors and prepared for our big Ham dinner. Here are some photos from our Easter weekend...

Earth Day at Heart to Home
Did you know that Heart to Home's Mendakota Manor was built GREEN and uses a GeoComfort Geothermal heating and cooling system? According to data supplied by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Geothermal Technologies, nearly 40% of all U.S. emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) are the result of using energy to heat, cool and provide hot water for buildings. This is about the same amount of CO2 contributed by the transportation sector. Versus a conventional fossil fuel system, a standard 3-ton residential geothermal system (such as the one used by Heart to Home) produces approximately one less pound of carbon dioxide (CO2) for every hour of use. Over twenty years, the carbon footprint reduction is equivalent to planting 120,000 acres of trees or converting over 58,000 cars to zero emission vehicles.
