It seems that April showers bring May flowers....
Well it's done nothing but rain here and it's a little depressing.
I bet the grass is six inches tall in the back yard but verdant does not begin to describe its beauty. The tulips I planted last year look good in shades of ivory and scarlet. With Earth Day and Arbor Day looming it's time to think of someway to give back to the Earth.
I have finally started reading again and have gone through several books, Jane Heller who writes women's humor with a mystery thrown in, or is it the other way around. I am reading Garrision Keilor's childrens book "Sandy Bottom Orchestra" perfect for a preteen. On deck, John Grisham, Jimmy Carter and the Dali Lama. A group that has no rhyme or reason, just whatever interests me at the time.
The extra bedroom has been set up for excercise for a couple weeks now and the truth is it had not seen any sweating going on, unless you count climbing the stairs......I am runnin low on excuses.

Gardening is one of my favorite pastimes, alas even I cannot play in the earth all the time. One must have serenity, humor and share an occasional thought with friends.

Luv the new look, had to look at the title a couple of times to figure out whose blog it is.
I totally agree with tornatore!

Glad to see you are exercising the brain & fingers writing the blog & reading! AND I am sure that yard will exercise ya!
I might have stopped for the name but stayed for the content.......
Giving back to earth is easy - live frugally and you can't help but give back. Live like you were in the 1920's - simple pleasures-getitng hands durty in the soil, planting your own veges, getting chickens for free manure and protien, making your own things like yougart, drying clothes on a line, reading, composting, enjoying the little things (things that don't cost money), going to the Library and not buying books....the list goes on
Zelda, turn that exercise room into a hobby room! All you need for exercise is a busy garden and an occasional brisk walk.
Rent the room out to poor state workers who are temporarily laid off from their jobs!
man, Zelda who know Shoebee had so many ideas!
