5 ways to take control of your Facebook News Feed

This is a great posting from Mashable.  I love the tips and will start using them to help me keep my sanity.  Nothing is worse than a constant stream of negativity from your second cousin, or a neighbor down the street.  Well, maybe a constant stream of unwanted political advice is a close second in annoying and even ruining my day.  I want to stay connected with these folks but I do not want to see all of these negative posts in my news feed!

An Inconsistent Blogger

Here I am sitting in front of my computer vowing to do better, yet knowing me I just won't be disciplined enough to blog every day.  I wonder what works for others.  How do you remember to post something? I may try setting an alarm with a reminder.  That is how I remember other things...like picking up Zack on his early days and putting out the trash on the right days.  I have some photos that I want to start sharing.  I am on a mission to capture life in monochrome.  I fell in love with B&W photography years ago and redeveloped a passion for it over the last few months.  We will see how this next adventure goes.  Check back and if you don't see some blogs strung together contact me and give me a hard time.

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!

National Planting Day 2014

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

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 :-)!

If You Build It

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!
