Earth Day

Friday is Earth Day. What are you doing for your mother?

The folks at the Earth Day Network expect more than 1 billion acts of kindness toward the Earth this week, and they are keeping a list.

Visit the website and post your plans. And let me know here at Garden Variety.

What am I doing? Saturday will be my own personal Earth Day and I will back in my garden, fluffing it up for all those who pass by on the way to the park in my neighborhood.

My garden seems to make more people than just me happy.

About Susan Reimer

Susan Reimer has spent 16 years writing about raising kids - among other topics - in her column for The Baltimore Sun. And every time son Joseph or daughter Jessie passed another milestone - driver's license, college, wedding or a move to a new military duty station - she has planted another garden. Now she will be writing about those gardens - and yours - here on Garden Variety.

Susan isn't an expert gardener, but she wasn't an expert mother, either. Both - the kids and the gardens - seem to be doing well in spite of her.

She lives in Annapolis with her husband, Gary Mihoces, who loves to cut his grass but has noticed that there seems to be less of it every time the kids pass another milestone.
