-- Quote of the Day -- " If you change the way you look at things, The things you look at change ." ~ Wayne Dyer -- Chatter -- Whew! Fall is such a busy time of year. Drum-it Percussion is starting up in full swing as of Oct 1st - and we are busily getting ready for that. The Trash Talk - It's Easy Being Green series is just about to be released, and our site has been getting upgrades for about a month now. These site upgrades will continue for a couple more weeks before we get the site where we want it to be. :) ...The garden's eggplant peak harvest is nearly over; the tomatoes are coming into their peak harvest now, as well as the peppers.
