It Is Earth Day

Today is Earth Day.

To celebrate I'm sharing a few images from Musashi's Garden, the Japanese Garden and the Houston Zoo.

Don't you think every day should be Earth Day?

Wishing YOU well and much joy.

Celebrating Earth Day

Today I'm celebrating Earth Day.

Last year there were no butterflies in my garden.

I blame the horrible drought.

But this year, this fellow came to visit.

I had to take his portrait shooting through the patio doors.

Good thing they were sort of clean.

Isn't he handsome?

I'm so glad he liked the zinnia.

How are you going to celebrate Earth Day?

I'm going to walk to Reckling Park and watch a college baseball game.

I'm going to make my walk a treasure hunt.

I'll make it up as I go along!

Did you know that one person taking a shorter shower could save 20 gallons of clean drinking water?

Just think, if thousands of people did the same the gallons would really add up.

It's the little things.

Thank you to:

The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sunday

Mary for Mosaic Monday

and the wonderful hosts of Our World.

Wishing YOU well and much joy!

Send I thee,

Sounds like something Yoda from Star Wars would say!

 

A friend of mine was telling me about a book she reads to kindergarten classes.

She volunteers and has been volunteering at this school for years 

and has children come up to her in other grades

 and tell her they remember the story she read to them at Easter.

The book is The Story of The Easter Bunny.

"It wasn't always the Easter Bunny who dyed eggs and wove baskets for the children--it was a round old couple who lived in a snug little house. Their pet white rabbit, however, always watched their preparations closely. One Easter morning, the old couple sleeps in, so the rabbit takes over. In time, the children discover they have the Easter Bunny to thank for their gifts."

The postcard is from the Easter Rabbit Postcard Book 

published by Darling & Company.

The artist is unknown but they did know the date - 1916.

Postcard Friendship Friday is hosted each week by the lovely Beth.

OOPS!

I almost forgot all about Earth Day.

Shame on me!

The Nature Conservancy suggests that to celebrate we should:

Eat Smart

Eat Local

Eat Sustainably

Eat Green

Eat Outside With Your Friends!

Wishing you WELL and a JOY filled  Earth Day.
