April Showers

It started gently raining/snowing/slushing about 4 A.M. as the wooden beams above my head played softly drummed rhythms of falling water to my waking ears.
I laid there for a long time listening to the nurturing droplets, appreciating every single one of them.
The gardens look happy, the rainbarrels are full again, and it looks like the sun is trying to break through anytime now.
Another beautful day on Earth!

Greetings,
We really love your blog and thought you might like our new magazine, green*light, the guide to living well and making a difference for everyone who wishes the world were a healthier, happier place. If it’s of interest to you it might be of interest to your readers. Feel free to offer them our introductory free subscription: the first 4 issue are free for a limited time. Publication begins in September.
Here is what our friends at www.treehugger.com had to say about green*light:
Green*light Magazine / February 2, 2005
Green*light magazine is a new endeavor by a group of west coast publishing industry vets who really care about bringing earth-friendly alternatives to the mainstream. And they’ve done their homework: Tapping into the fact that a third of all Americans believe that their everyday actions can make a difference to the planet, the glossy aims to help its readers find products, companies, and answers that keep the health of our environment on the front burner. Armed with stats including the fact that Americans spend $227 billion annually on earth-friendly goods and services and that they invested $2.13 trillion in socially responsible investments in 2003, it appears that for Green*light all systems are go. Subscribe now and you can get your first four issues free. ::Green*light [by MO]

Can you tell me something about the sign at the entrance to your home?
Thanks.

Jeff-
The sign designates that our yard is registered with The National Wildlife Federation as a Backyard Wildlife Habitat. It's very simple to qualify as a habitat, you just meet as few basic criteria for making food, water and shelter available to wildlife, fill out a form, and you'll be registered. They even give you your own Habitat webpages. I'll post a photo of the sign on the blog today and include a link to our NWF habitat pages so you can visit there.
