Happy 4th of July!
This is the day that the United States of America celebrates her independence. Long ago, our ancestors fought for and won their freedom from England. This day, however, is also a day to celebrate our rights and freedoms that have been won for us over time. Some would argue that those very freedoms are being threatened. I'm not going to argue that here. I just want to say Happy Independence Day!...and Thank You to all of the men and women in the military who fight for us every day. Thank you for your service to me, my family and this great nation that is our home.

The last time I mowed our yard, I only did the flat part. I dislocated my knee more than a year ago, and it's never been the same. I enjoy mowing the lawn. It's nice to focus only on mowing. I do, of course, have to watch for critters like garter snakes or baby black snakes or praying mantis. I love these animals and more. They are good for our yard and our gardens. Every spring when I'm out walking through our yard, I find the praying mantis egg cases and make sure that they are left alone to hatch. This time of year, they are usually finished hatching and are busy eating and growing. When I mow, I can't hear the phone so there are few disturbances. I get to mow and enjoy the "zen" of mowing.

At my elementary school, each May Day the fifth graders put on a presentation of dances and music, complete with a May Pole dance to end the celebration. This was back in the mid-1970s. I doubt that the school still has that celebration, but who knows. It was fun to learn the dances and the music. The May Pole dance was always fun to watch and participate in. How many of you went to a school that celebrated May Day?

My mom got me a little prism with that saying printed on it. She definitely knows what she's talking about...I'm creative, and I'm not tidy. Around my desk, there is a mess with piles all around. If I need to find something, I know exactly where it is. I can even tell others how to find things in my house. I do not find the mess oppressive in any way. I do clean my piles on occassion, but not very often. Oh, I do get frustrated if the cats or my sons knock a pile over, but I get over it quickly. I do put the pile back in place though. Any one else do this?
