Happy Earth Day!

Since today is Earth Day I am wearing one of my favorite green shirts that says "Love your planet . Kiss your planet . Hug your planet" with a Hershey Kiss in the center. I am so thankful for this great planet that God created and just love what wonderful weather we have been blessed with lately. God really did create a masterpiece with this earth! There are so many beautiful, wonderful things to look at, smell, feel and just enjoy. So I went out into my yard to play with the dog (who also loves this weather) and I took a few pictures of the beautiful roses growing in my backyard. I couldn't really get too close since these were towering over my 5'3" height! I tried to pull them a little closer but those thorns wouldn't let me! Aren't they beautiful? T
I wish I could take credit for how gorgeous they are but I really don't do anything to them at all...God does all the watering! Well the sprinklers help every other day too! :)

Now I do take some credit for growing this Basil. I planted it from seeds and have watered it and watched it grow, now it's about time to replant it outdoors....I am so proud of me for not killing it! :)

So yesterday I had lunch with a friend at Simply Southern Bistro on Wesmark, which is absolutely yummy! After the waiter took our order he came over and asked "Would you like some cheese biscuits?" My friend and I looked straight at each other and said almost in unison, "Of course!" Once the waiter walked away, my friend said, "What kind of question is that? Why would you ask a couple of fat women if they want a biscuit?!" We both just started howling with laughter!!! It was kind of like asking a bear if it wants honey, or a cat if it likes mice! I mean really...it is kind of obvious we have had our share of biscuits in our lives, so just give us some already! There is no need to ask...just bring 'em on! They were sooooo good too!

Take time to appreciate this wonderful place called Earth today and most importantly thank the Creator! Until next time....

Blessings,
Amanda
