Good on Michelle.<BR/><BR/>Now if only I could use that amount of determination and get my husband to actually mow the lawns I would be ecstatic. I hope the President is more willing to appease his wife!Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511855282323456046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-88355306342849867842009-03-20T14:25:00.000-07:002009-03-20T14:25:00.000-07:00It's great to read all of these gardening musings ...It's great to read all of these gardening musings on the day of the 40th anniversary of Eric Carle's The Very Hungry Catepillar. All those lovely fruits and vegetables look as if they were just picked from a backyard garden. The chocolate cake doesn't exactly fit into the metaphor, but the sweet simplicity of the story and idea that great possibilites come from the mundane seem fitting. I highly recommend checking out Carle's website and viewing his discussion of how he created the book and his journey of discovery that led him to being a children's author. My kids were both fascinated by it and at 7 and 9 they have long abandoned the book as a "baby book."Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196717975204396575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-33045863783769772972009-03-20T09:58:00.000-07:002009-03-20T09:58:00.000-07:00I guess it's that Obama determined optimism spilli...I guess it's that Obama determined optimism spilling over to gardening. Daring the frost to bite. <BR/><BR/>I also adore Michelle. Strong, midwest, no-nonsense woman. Make your own bed. Pick up the dog's poop. Weed your own garden. I love that she vetoed dumb suggested names for the dog instead of worrying about hurting someone's feelings. The bubble has ruined too many good politicans. Michelle t'aint gonna stand for that! <BR/><BR/>And getting Mrs. Robinson as the First Grandmother in the White House is a major bonus.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08473547342133625538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8626107370797678390.post-14787175516352065212009-03-20T06:39:00.000-07:002009-03-20T06:39:00.000-07:00Michelle Obama is a breath of fresh air isn't she?...Michelle Obama is a breath of fresh air isn't she? I agree about the frost date- I never plant until tax day. Good luck with your garden!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02472057643558625269noreply@blogger.com
