Today is Earth Day – April 22

April 22nd, 2011

There were some Earth Day presentations going on today at the local library at noon, so I went there to see them during my lunch break.  I couldn’t find anyplace to park, so I eventually gave up and went back to work, disappointed.  I feel strongly that we need to pay closer attention to what we are doing to the Earth and do a lot more to protect it from the harm that industry is doing to it, and to do whatever we can to repair the damage that has already been done.

What Happened?

June 29th, 2010

It seems that we got short changed with the much anticipated Spring weather that we were all so looking forward to enjoying. It has been in the 90′s for several weeks now and I’m sick of it. Can’t have any fun in that type of heat. It is only June, we should still be in the 70′s and 80′s for Pete’s sake!

It’s About Time

May 7th, 2010

We are finally experiencing some nice weather around here. It had been such a terribly long hard winter that most people were getting pretty crabby and really needing a break from all that goes along with the cold winters. I know I’m getting anxious to get my hands in my garden and get on with Spring time!

Clean Up the Grill

March 7th, 2010

With Spring almost here, I decided to bring the grill out of the garage and clean it up. As soon as it is warm enough to be outside without a jacket, I will be using the grill to cook dinner. I love food cooked on the grill – it adds a special flavor to the meats that you just can’t duplicate on the stove or in the oven. I also like to use marinades on the meats if i am going to be grilling. So I will have a much larger variety of flavors for all the different meats very soon.

Earthquake

February 27th, 2010

This morning I saw on the TV news that there was a devastating earthquake in Chile early this morning. Sadly, the earthquake happened about 3:30 in the morning, so obviously most people were sound asleep by then. This is too soon to know how many injuries and fatalities are the result. I hope that the numbers are low and that we can send humanitarian help right away.
