Awakenings: Hey! What’s wrong with weeds?

To the average person, weeds are a nuisance. See a weed. Pull a weed. Of course, that all depends on the kind of weeds and where they are located. Farmers detest them. Children love them. Didn’t you ever play with a “dande-fluff”? Then, there are those that take over the lawn providing just the right amount of green where nothing else will grow. These you never pull but mow right over instead! And, believe it or not, some are actually edible.

March 28 is…
National Weed Appreciation Day

Weed Appreciation Day? You’ve got to be kidding, right? I try my darnedest to keep those pesky little fellows OUT of my flower garden! Why on earth would I want to celebrate an appreciation for something so annoying?

Awakenings: Blessings at Easter

Easter is so much, much more
Than what any Easter bunny brings
Chocolate or decorated eggs
Marshmallows or candy rings
A day of Christian celebration
Flowing with the spirit of love
Comfort in the fulfilled promise
All by the hands of Heaven above

In all her colorfulness
Mother Nature doth intervene
Adding splendor to the day
Dawn ’til dusk, all hours in between
Awaken with the sunrise
On this blessed resurrection day
With refreshed, renewed spirit
Each hour, minute, ready to replay

Wishing everyone a very blessed Easter!
