Happy Earth Day 2010!

Well, beadheads...it's Earth Day! Let's face it, we're certainly not perfect when it comes to taking care of our earth. It's impossible to do everything right. We should once in a while sit back and think about what can I do for the earth. It may be something simple like starting to hang out the laundry on a sunny day. Yes, that's my laundry - be thankful I don't have any gotchie draws out there! Sheets that are dried outside smell wonderful and come alive. Think about how lifeless your clothes are after you use the dryer time and time again. I guarantee you will sleep better with fresh air dried sheets.

Did you ever wonder how Earth Day started? Read this - http://EarthDay.envirolink.org/history.html And...hey there Al Gore do you hang laundry out? Saves energy....I'm just sayin'

I hope you all enjoy the day. Go plant a flower, look up at the sky, count your blessings for all you have. Never take it for granted.

What's In a Photo?

What's in a photo? Quite a lot sweeties! My website will be taking on (slowly) a new look. In the coming year I will be experimenting with a new look and new designs. I have so much "stuff"

inside me I feel like I'm going to explode into fireworks! Stay tuned beadheads...
