 What can ordinary people do to make a huge difference in the world? What if I were to say that this is something that has the potential to help stop climate change while giving a precious gift to future generations? What would you think of that? And what if I said that you didn’t have

  Yesterday evening, I got to have so much fun when I went to Orange Poppy Art Studio on Grand Island  for a creative activity involving two things that I love: art and plants. It is always a delight to go into this studio, a small business run with great joy by its two owners, Bonnie

  I’m a day late for the end of the April A to Z blogging challenge, as there is no such thing as April 31st. But, hey, I finished in typical zig zag style, so it’s all good. I tried to be zealous in my approach to the challenge, to talk about how I have
