Robin from Simple.Green.Organic.Happy, my very forgiving penpal from Australia, and Willo from Green Gracious jumped right on board within hours of my posting. And the official challenge doesn't even start until May 1st!
This year I promise not to be as lazy and offer some more green giveaways. I'm teaming up with a blogger-soon-to-be-revealed who is quite fabric-crafty and who will no doubt have some clothesline-related doo-dads up her sleeve(s).
As we get closer to spring, I always like to peruse the latest edition of Kids Garden News from kidsgardening.org. Two items stood out:
If you are in the Grand Rapids/East Lansing area of the country, the 19th Annual Children & Youth Gardening Symposium will be held there towards the end of July. Many moons ago Green Husband presented at this conference and I tagged along. If they are offering garden tours this year, be sure to take advantage of this very inspiring opportunity.
Are you a teacher? In the mood for a lot of slaw? Know a third grade class who would like to raise some cabbages? Then check out Bonnie Plants 3rd Grade Cabbage Program. I mean, really, is there anything more that can be said about this...?
And finally I leave you with a fitting and timely excerpt from a poem by Jane Kenyon, one of my favorite poets.
The shadow of smoke rising from the chimneyfrom "Bright Sun after Heavy Snow" by Jane Kenyon, from The Boat of Quiet Hours. © Graywolf Press, 1986.
moves abruptly over the yard.
The clothesline rises in the wind. One
wooden pin is left, solitary as a finger;
it, too, rises and falls.

I love to first hang things on hangers, then out on the line. Must remember not to do that on windy days. Three of my tops sailed off the line & into the grass. They brushed off easily though, no harm, no foul. ;)
That's a beautiful poem! Such vivid thoughts come to mind when I read that. Thanks!
