Celebrate arbor day- win my balls!!!

Arbor day is coming. Nationally, it is the last Wednesday in April, locally. In Washington state, it is> the second Wednesday in April or the 11th. In celebrating Arbor Day, I will be planting 3 columnar apple trees. But I am planting them today not the 11th. And before you call me "Lady Bird", (I am old enough to remember Mrs. Lyndon Baines Johnson - no relation, tell everyone to "beautify america- plant a tree) I say plant a tree, a fruit bush, or some veggies or flowers. It all adds to the oxygen, helps nullify the greenhouse effect, and in general is just a damn fine Idea. It helps cool down the earth, and in short is the eco thing to do. You like doing eco things don't you? I assume you do or you wouldn't be reading this blog! Find out when your state celebrates arbor day here or internationally here Or celebrate personally- here are some suggestions from the Arbor Day foundation:

• Celebrate Arbor Day in a personal way by planting a tree yourself. It is an act of optimism and kindness, a labor of love and a commitment to stewardship.
• Read a book about trees. Learn to identify trees in your yard and neighborhood.
• Enjoy the outdoors. Visit a local park or take a nature hike.
• Attend a class on tree and plant care.
• Volunteer with a local tree-planting organization.

You'll meet new people and make a difference in your community. How do you plan to celebrate Arbor Day?

It's that time again.
