Earth Day at the Tropic of Mom
Here I was all proud of my new blog (one week old already! almost a veteran!) and how I planned to post every week day. (Whoever thought weekends were for relaxing got it all wrong. My weekends are crazy busy.)
And then BellSouth ruined my plans! Yesterday, the phone and the Internet service just crapped out on our home. When we called, BellSouth said it was a quote-unquote major outage. Oh, yeah? How come I didn't hear about it in the news, then?
Anyways.
It's probably just as well to post this post today instead of yesterday, because today is Earth Day! Even though weekends are busy, I took my boy to a nearby park this past weekend where there was a fun Earth Day festival happening. Well, it was either an Earth Day festival, or it was a Girl Scout sing-along/dance-a-thon where they give out plants and show off crocodiles and alligators and the vans in the parking lot say, "Bluegrass music is happiness in motion" but there's a truck with Georgia plates carrying plants to give give away while parked on top of clumps of native fakahatchee grass. Yeah. Nice.
So not only did my son get to see a crocodile and an alligator, but we also saw a great horned owl:
And I got to hold a baby gopher tortoise:
Overall, a pretty cool day. And I scored a couple native plants for free -- some blue porterweed, which attracts butterflies.
What a way to love your mother!

I have been having difficulties with my Internet Service too.. I hate that!
That sounds like lots of fun. And yes weekends are always crazy busy and I never want to use the precious nap time for anything other than vegging on the couch.
