Adam Moen 4/28/2022 9:36 AMI can't believe April is already almost over. It went by quick!! -
Adam Moen 4/27/2022 6:05 AMThe weather is getting cold again, but hopefully it warms up soon. I am looking forward to finally being able to start working on the garden outside. There is a lot to do :)-
Adam Moen 4/28/2022 6:21 AMthe fluctuating temperatures definitely don't help. But plants are shockingly resilient. -
Thomas Saad 4/28/2022 4:45 AMI moved my outdoor plants from the garage to the porch and deck over the weekend. The spikes and ivy have survived two winters in the garage and I'm hoping the freeze last night didn't do them in.

Adam Moen 4/26/2022 5:57 AMWas just talking to a friend about this because I think it's really crazy. But there was once a 6th great lake! If I remember right from the documentary I watched, it dried up a long time ago and was located in Canada. It drained into Lake Superior. The reason we know it existed is because the soil composition of the area indicates there used to be a VERY large body of water located there. Actually, all the great lakes feed into each other and eventually to Nigra Falls and out into the ocean. It won't happen anytime soon, but eventually all the lakes will be dried up. Fun fact lol! -
Adam Moen 4/25/2022 11:35 AMI know it's already passed, but I just learned that Earth Day as its own theme song. It was made in 2013 by Abhay Kumar. It's called “Earth Anthem.” It's even recorded in every official language of the United Nations. The more you know.-
Thomas Saad 4/26/2022 5:29 PMI found the song "Everyday is Earth Day", when I looked up the Earth Day Anthem.
