I love fonts, I love funky fonts, I love fancy fonts, but I really control myself and limit myself to fonts that are readable.  This article about choosing fonts and typefaces is great!

Keep Pearland Beautiful participated in the third annual National Planting Day with a tree planting at the VFW Post on August 28, 2014.

The last of the "cool" days, that is what I thought a few weeks ago.  Then a front came through Tuesday and dropped the temperature to that of an early spring day.  Yesterday a few of us went to the Yardwise Garden adjacent to the Stella Roberts Recycling Center 5800 Magnolia, Pearland TX  77584.  Working for 3 hours when it is cool made it pleasant.  Waking up this morning to 52 degrees was a treat!  I am trying to relish this weather and remember it.  Remind me in July that I said I would be grateful for our cooler than normal spring and NOT whine about the summer :-)!

We talk about wanting this and wanting that program but then reality hits.  What if you built it and No One Comes.  Every program and every project that you start has to be maintained and managed by someone.  Keep Pearland Beautiful has a beautiful native and adaptive garden that is one of Pearland's best kept secret.  The Yard Wise Garden is adjacent to the Stella Roberts Recycling Center 5800 Magnolia. Pearland TX 77584.  When you park in front of the center the garden is just to the left of the center.  We are starting a club, we will call it the Yard Wise Gardening Club.  Once a month we will meet and maintain this demonstration garden so that others can enjoy it.  In a few hours once a month we can stay ahead of the weeds and keep this garden tamed.  Please email me at admin@mykpb.org if you are interested in joining our merry band of gardeners!

Today is the memorial service for a brave woman who fought brain cancer for over 25 years.  My thoughts and prayers are with her family especially her funny, smart, caring father who is a dear friend.  I can't even imagine what it is like to lose a child.  I really admire the strength and resilience that my friend Dorman's family has shown through their loss of a dearly beloved one.

Spring is in the air... yesterday it was cool and rainy but this visit to a local nature center was worth it!

You don't ever imagine that one thoughtful act can spread...

But if the act involves blue bonnets and they are allowed to go to seed every year and then mowed down then they will spread!  A friend of ours was very ill and in the hospital.  We went on a road trip to the Antique Rose Emporium.  Zachary and I found some blue bonnet plants for sale and we purchased 4 plants.  We took them to the Rustic Oak Elementary School Nature Center and planted them.  Every year the seed spread out a little bit more and with the right amount of rain ... the blue bonnets are putting on quite a show!
