Last week on my way to work I saw one of my neighbor’s yards that had that telltale blue marker dye used in chemical lawn treatment. “What a waste,” I thought. The idea that chemical treatment will result in a weed free lawn out here in the country borders on insanity. Maybe it will have some positive result in the short term but I’m sure that Nature will have her way no matter how many treatments this person pays for. Right next door was a lawn covered in the violet flowers of henbit. I felt better immediately.

So I just got back from the live and in person 2021 Arts Alive Home and Garden Expo. I was so happy they decided to do this one in spite of the you-now-what virus. All the vendors I talked with said they did OK. Some did very well. Especially those selling hand crafted items and food stuff. The salsa booth was hot-to-go with folks standing in line. The spirit and enthusiasm was still there. This show has always been so important to so many who live in our communities. Thanks to all the Arts Council staff, volunteers, and Smith’s Gardentown for making the right decision.
