Garden Tools

My brother is always coming up with these ideas. Sometimes they're a little wild, like when he tried to make snow in the winter by using a big fan and cold water. Other times, like what he showed us today, his ideas are awesome!
Today he showed us a place in the yard where he set up a little garden type looking area (photo included). He ordered some red worms online and put a bunch of them in this little area. The red worms take the grass he cuts and they eat it, which in turn, creates fertilizer (I'm guessing when they poop it out?).
For more information you can look them up as Eisenia fetida on Wiki. Or just Google red worm and you can find a bunch of information.
He was also talking about how fast they reproduce and I'm hoping they stay in the area they're suppose to.

Dr. Tracey

I walked into his office and was greeted by some of the same beautiful faces I had been when I was younger. I have always loved going to see Dr. Tracey, which might seem odd to other people, as he is my orthodontist. The office has changed a bit over the years aesthetically, and boy do I like the new look (especially the carpet and the sinks).
What I really appreciate is the fact that he has some of the same people working for him now as when I was a kid. I believe that says great things about an employer. I remember getting excited to go in and see them because they always made me feel so welcome and were utterly gracious to me every time.
When you do business with someone, usually there is a transaction and then you are done. I am delighted to tell you that is not what my experience has been with Dr. Tracey. I went to him, years ago, when I was working at the children's home and I told him about a kid who didn't like to smile because he was insecure about his teeth.
Dr. Tracey stopped me before I could even ask, and he told me to bring him in the office. I was thrilled! The staff at the children's home couldn't believe it when I told them he was going to hook the kid up with some complementary braces... but he did it without hesitation. And while I was in there he also gave me an invisiline. What can I say? I'm thankful he sorta spoils me!
This time I went into Dr. Tracey's office to give him a thank you card. I was thinking about how big the smile was on the kid's face after he got his braces put on, and how joyful he was every time he visited Dr. Tracey. And then Dr. Tracey got me a new retainer which I am gladly wearing at the moment.. along with a smile. Im eternally grateful I've had the opportunity to witness his endless kindness on so many levels.
Thank you Dr. Tracey for the limitless smiles you've helped create.. And thank you to all of the lovely ladies/people who are a part of Dr. Tracey's team.
Sending you so much LOVE!

I Love This

"...observe how helplessly and indiscriminately a tree gives its shade to everyone, good and bad, young and old, high and low; to animals and humans and every living creature--even to the one who seeks to cut it down. So this is the first quality of love: its indiscriminate character."
