Beyond the Yellow Brick Road
This paving sort of reminds me of the yellow brick road …
Looks very slick. Must be in a dry climate. I think it would be very slick if it got wet. Can’t say I approve of the way it adjoins the brick path beyond at such an angle. Also, I have to wonder who is going to want to sit on that bench? It looks like a dead end to me. I have to assume there must be a view?
Pretty colors though! Thoughts?

The Irish Shamrock
Oxalis regnellii, otherwise known as the Shamrock, was a sacred plant to the Druids of Ireland as its leaves formed a triad, and three was a mystical number in the Celtic religion. St. Patrick used the shamrock in the 5th century to illustrate the doctrine of the Holy Trinity as he introduced Christianity to Ireland.
Over time, the shamrock has become the most recognized symbol of Ireland. Once worn on the lapel, it is what is referenced by the slogan “wearin’ of the green.”
To all my friends in Blogland, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day!
‘May the roof above us never fall in.
And may the friends gathered below it never fall out.’

Eco Trash
Just what will they come up with next?
Eco Trashcan. Envi promotes green by processing biodegradable waste.
Yes, that’s right. It actually turns biodegradable waste into organic compost, which in turn, sustains the plant which it carries and lives in harmony with.
Most of the compost produced by Envi can be removed from the container and used for other applications.
This project uses bio-reactive substances based on photo catalysis to accelerate the degradation process of waste into organic compost. If used properly, the plant within the container will grow and thrive. If not, the plant dies.

A Southern Winter Wonderland
It’s not often that Wilmington, NC finds itself in the path of a major winter storm event. Maybe this happens once every decade.
Well, it happened for southern North Carolina residents last night. Here is what we woke up to this morning!
The snow-covered landscape seems surreal--
Last night on the evening news, Brian Williams reported that 49 of our 50 states reported measurable snow last night. That is quite a statistic!
Snow is especially appropriate now as all eyes are on Vancouver for the Winter Olympics.
If the snow has found you today, I hope you enjoy it as it will soon be gone!
