I don’t know what ‘s up with the weather where you live, but
in my area, Old Man Winter is blasting us with one last blizzard of the white
stuff. Well, I hope it’s the last
one, but this is Alberta, and
anything can happen. One year, we had snow in JUNE. Talk about spinning the
Earth upside down!
Speaking of Earth, there’s a whole lot of stuff going on
next week in celebration of our planet, starting with National Agriculture Day, March 19. It’s no secret my Grandpa’s a
canola producer. Even though the ground is frozen and he’s a long way from
planting seeds, there’s always work to do on the farm. Maybe take a minute next
Tuesday to appreciate a food producer you know – I know I’ll be thanking my
grandparents.
March 20 is Earth Day,
and on Friday, it’s World Day for Water.
I guess we’re pretty lucky to live on a planet that even has water – though my
Grandpa says so much is wasted. Sometimes we take things for granted, which is
why during Earth Hour on March 23,
I’ll be turning off my computer, the lights, and everything else that uses
power from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m.
In the meantime, I plan on using this new snow to my
advantage. It’s almost the end of snowshoeing season and since it’s my new
favourite sport (next to track and field, of course), I want to get in as much
as I can before the green turns green. Mind you…the way the weather looks right
now, that might not happen for a long time.
Gotta jet!
