Happy Earth Day!

We celebrate Earth Day today!

If you want to get your hands into the earth on this beautiful spring day, Waukesha Floral has a nice selection of pansies, $6.99 for a 6-pack, and in a nice mix of colors.

Here is a short poem to remind you that we are all part of this planet we live on, and we all have a responsibility to best take care of it in our own small ways.  






Earth Day  by Jane Yolen

I am the Earth

And the Earth is me.

Each blade of grass,

Each honey tree,

Each bit of mud,

And stick and stone

Is blood and muscle,

Skin and bone.

And just as I

Need every bit

Of me to make

My body fit,

So Earth needs

Grass and stone and tree

And things that grow here

Naturally.

That’s why we

Celebrate this day.

That’s why across

The world we say:

As long as life,

As dear, as free,

I am the Earth

And the Earth is me.
