Well, I have been busting my butt with yardwork all day today. Planting, mowing, building a wall, mowing the grass - which brings us to the sheep fact of the day...

"Even the White House changed with the onset of World War I. Sheep were brought to graze in the White House lawns in order to save the manpower required to mow the expansive grounds. Wool from the sheep was sold as a fundraiser for the Red Cross."

Here's a picture of the White House lawn being groomed by sheep...

But I do love working in the garden. It's something I never really thought I would like, but I started doing it quite a bit last year and now stuff is growing and if is really fun to see my hard work pay off. I've got several big yard projects planned for this year including the wall I've already started building to make a level place to plant vegies. Okay, enough rambling about gardening. :)

Seems I have 2 new friends on this site. Nice to meet you both, and I hope more and more people will track my blogs because I enjoy writing them and reading other blogs too.

I haven't had much time to post in the forums, but hopefully that will change soon. Avatar: The Last Airbender is my favorite show on tv so I'll probably be spending a lot of time on that forum. Should be fun when the next season starts especially. Ahh - why can't it just start!!!
