Earth Day is a special day on which events are held to increase awareness and appreciation of the Earth’s natural environment. Earth Day is now global and is celebrated in more than 175 countries every year.

Earth Day celebrates the planet we live on and it vows to make the earth a better place to live in. It makes us more earth conscious for all we have been given.

Mutts, my must read each and every day is in the Earth Day Celebration mood as Mooch and Earl remind us of it. Living here in San Diego, there are allot of goings on today to celebrate this special day. Balboa Park, a favorite respite of mine, will be the place to be today!

Think of all the wonderful threads that you use in your needlepoint that are made from silks, wools and cottons…where would we be without them?

Many retailers are offering a little something free today to help celebrate the day. Such as a free reusable bag or a free refill of coffee with a reusable cup…now what about us who don’t drink coffee?

Even though I would enjoy going to Balboa Park and take in all the festivities, I think instead that I will celebrate the day by not driving anywhere and staying home and communing with nature…the cats, the plants and my stitching.

AlleyCat is giving us a Kodak moment as she poses in front of some of the orchids. and until next time…keep on stitching
