MIDWEEK MUSINGS: NAT'L ENVIRONMENTAL DAY

There's litte energy to battle anything too political this week as it will be needed next week as I will be with the grands (ages almost 7 and 2 1/2. )Their summer schedule arrived and I am exhausted just looking at it. 

Did you know that today is National Environmental Day? 

herbs are thriving

The backyard has finally gotten more attention since 4 trees had to be removed due to the September microburst. New native plants and shrubs have been planted along the back beds with some veggies and flowers filling another bed and the herbs are thriving due to all the rain.

lavender,  3 species of eggplant, tomatoes and zinnias for color 

Man yearns to control the environment but it has a life of its own... We shall see if this gardener can keep up with it all. 

And for moments of reprieve there's a new path, named the Yellow Brick Road,  to lead to the newly remodeled back deck with a screened-in porch with seating  within and out.  Comfy for curling up with a book/ eating a daily meal.

We need to be kind to our environment and enjoy using it today and every day...
