Earth Day 2006

It's not nice to fool Mother Nature. Why is it okay for her to fool us?? Friday was a perfect day...warm and sunny...a day for shorts and t-shirts. Earth Day was windy and rainy/snowy as we prepared to clean up the Pass. 9 people from Blairmore came at 10 a.m. to the Gazebo for garbage bags and to 'sign in'. The wind was wild as we tried to hang onto the bags but luckily there was lots of garbage caught in the hedge so bags were soon weighted down. About lunch time, the wind had blown off to somewhere else. During the afternoon, the snow began to fall , big fluffy flakes that fell straight down like you see in a Christmas card scene. It was very pretty but not the sort of day to encourage anyone to keep on with the clean-up.
