The Brooklyn Botanical Garden just reminded me of an upcoming celebration… in… Brooklyn. Surely there must be some celebrating in South Carolina?  It looks like there was one in Boiling Springs on the 12th…

I’ve probably missed my chance to celebrate at all, as most folks celebrate in mid-April, but I have to give it a shot!  Locals, give me details!

Where I am, the water seems to be too hard, and the air is brittle.  The cold is wreaking havoc on my skin, so the humidifier seems to be the best option. Oh, and I’m impatient.   I was worried that the drastic increase in salt would be bad for my little friend, but he seems to be running better than ever.  This solution seems to address everything on all counts!
