FIRST THINGS FIRST...  I'M FEELING GREAT.  IT'S ALMOST AS IF NOTHING HAPPENED. NO STOMACH PAIN AND ALL IS BACK TO NORMAL.  WELL, EXCEPT FOR THE OCCASIONAL UPPER RIGHT DULL PAIN IN MY BACK...WHICH GOES HAND IN HAND WITH GALL BLADDER DISEASE.  I HAVEN'T HEARD BACK FROM MY NUCLEAR SCAN...  I CALLED TWICE...I THINK THE NURSES AT MY DOCTORS OFFICE ARE GETTING ANNOYED WITH ME.  THE TOUGHEST PART IS THE WAITING..... I HOPE TO HEAR SOMETHING TOMORROW--IF NOT I HAVE A DOCTORS APPOINTMENT TUESDAY.

ON A HAPPY NOTE...THE WEATHER IS AWESOME AND THINGS ARE LOOKING GREEN!  WE HAVE A HUGE VARIETY OF BIRDS...WHICH MAKES ME YEARN TO READ THORTON BURGESS BIRD BOOK AGAIN...AND, WHAT IS IT ABOUT SPRINGTIME THAT FINDS ME REACHING FOR MY ANNA COMSTOCK NATURE GUIDE...I ONLY LIKE TO READ IT THIS TIME OF YEAR.

HERE'S SOMETHING UTTERLY INTERESTING .....  I NEEDED A NEW FRYING PAN...  MY TEFLON IS PEELING AND I PITCHED IT...  I WANT TO GO WITH A FRYING PAN WITHOUT TEFLON...  DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THEY WERE AT KOHLS?  CHEAPEST ONE WAS $89.95.  GEESH-- I GUESS I NEED TO GET OUT MORE!  EVEN WITH DISCOUNTS AND ALL...IT IS STILL OUTRAGEOUS.  I LEFT EMPTY HANDED. 

HAVE YOU NOTICED THE EARTH DAY OR MAKE IT GREEN OR THE RECYCLE PUSH THAT'S BEEN HAPPENING AGAIN THIS APRIL?  PERSONALLY, "NATIONAL ______________  MONTH," MAKES ME SCRATCH MY HEAD.  WE HAVE NATIONAL BREAST CANCER AWARNESS "MONTH" AND "WOMEN IN RED MONTH FOR A BETTER HEART."   DON'T GET ME WRONG...I MEAN IT'S GOOD...BUT WHY JUST EARTH DAY ONE TIME A YEAR?  WHY ONLY IN OCTOBER SHOULD RETAILERS SLAP THE PINK RIBBON ON THEIR PRODUCTS?  SHOULDN'T ALL OF THIS BE RECOGNIZED ALL THE TIME?  SHOULDN'T WE TREAT THE EARTH GOOD YEAR ROUND?  SHOULD WE KEEP UP WITH MAMM'S AND SELF-CHECK EVERY MONTH?  OKAY...JUST MY TWO CENTS...  DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THE RANDOM ACTS OF KINDNESS ONCE A WEEK THING...  ONCE A WEEK?  HOW ABOUT EVERYDAY.  A LOT?

HERE'S AN EARTH DAY CRAFT TOMMIE MADE ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO...MADE OUT OF RECYCLED STUFF ....  IT'S A "LINT JAR"...  WHICH IS A CLEANED OUT SPAGHETTI JAR WITH DECOPAGED  PICTURES OF BIRDS ON IT.  WE STUFF DRYER LINT IN IT AND THEN PULL IT OUT, TOSS IT IN THE FIELD AND WAIT FOR THE BIRDS TO BUILD A NEST.  WE SAVE THE LINT YEAR ROUND...NOT JUST IN APRIL...EARTH DAY MONTH.

HAPPY SUNDAY EVERYONE!

This is a great project and a great way to help the birds. It teaches recycling as well. My kids will love this. I often toss our dryer lint and this will be a much better thing to do with it! I may soon post an entry with many great Spring Earth Day activities I am finding onto my blog. When I (Hopefully) do I will link onto this great project! Thanks for sharing!!!
