The only news I have to report is that everything is blooming, including the weeds! I do, however, have a quote about the purpose of Earth Day:

“The objective was to get a nationwide demonstration of concern for the environment so large that it would shake the political establishment out of its lethargy and, finally, force this issue permanently onto the national political agenda. In a speech in Seattle in September 1969, I announced a national environmental teach-in which became Earth Day 1970.” — Senator Gaylord Nelson, Founder of Earthday.

I can’t resist sharing some flower pix. So, I hope you have sunny weather and I hope you enjoy these …

This is the big camellia at the corner of the porch. It always looks like a tropical flower to me.
