Click here for Earth, Wind & Fire, September.

then click back on this blog tab or here to listen as you browse, or not?

I was minding my own business, 

trying to get organized, entering receipts,

wondering what today's blog might be?

You know, catch up stuff.

Sometimes I listen to music. 

But after the NBA playoff game 

and after Jeopardy (my addiction)

I put on PBS to listen to while I worked, 

and learned about ... guerrilla gardeners!

Have you heard of them?

  I hadn't. New to me and I was so impressed.

I googled and found a TED talk here,

and the Wikipedia definition here.

Apparently originally an Australian TV show, 

our local PBS station featured some local LA crusaders 

who find untended areas of urban blight,

meet there late at night, since it is illegal.

They clean up and improve the area with plantings, 

anonymously.

With all the horrors in the news, 

I found it inspiring that people give of themselves

to improve an area for the benefit of all.

Thanks for visiting, wishing you a lovely Wednesday.

A smile for Wednesday ...
