Earth Day Music & Tough Grass

by Sandra Williams

globeHappy Earth day all! We kept busy puttering around cleaning our neighborhood in the afternoon.

In the morning a friend and I hit a used bookstore and got a whole box of books for five dollars! I grabbed a bit of everything including an Indian cookbook, climate change, crafts, personal development, organic gardening and gardening in small spaces. A few fiction novels for fun too of course.

Eco Lawn: Jack BakkerMy mom was telling me today about this hardy grass seed she bought called Eco-Lawn and she is really excited about it. It’s low maintenance and does not require frequent watering or pesticides. It’s comprised of seven different grasses but the percentage formula is a secret. You can only buy it in 5 or 50lb bags, which seems a bit of a jump. It sounds like it will be much easier on my mother anyway so hope it works out.

  • Saturday’s earth song video is Imagine by John Lennon with photos from National Geographic, thanks to Stone9kung from Youtube.

Imagine there’s no Heaven
It’s easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there’s no countries
It isn’t hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You may say that I’m a dreamer
But I’m not the only one
I hope someday you’ll join us
And the world will live as one
