Free Milkweed Seeds

www.livemonarch.com/free-milkweed-seeds.htm

Here is a site for free milkweed seeds. The Monarch butterfly needs our help. How can you not feel passionate for a creature so beautiful, fragile and vulnerable to mans destruction. If you do not grow organic, consider the benefits for you , your family and the butterfly.

I searched many websites and I found this one to have competitive pricing and a variety of milkweed.

Plight of the Monarch

April is upon us and with it a burst of spring weather. Remember the plight of the Monarch
Butterfly and consider planting milkweed in your garden. I will add a few websites so that you may order if you like

The Seeds of Friendship

Seeds God has planted here on earth cannot be measured by earthly worth. They were planted deeply in your heart by God's love placed there from the start.

Value your friends, honor their decisions, never try to make their dreams your revisions. Respect their feelings, never make demands, hold their love tightly in your hands.

Never be angry if you don't talk to them each day, for a heart can be loving even far away. Trust in friendship, send a piece of your heart, this is how friendship was intended from the start.

Hold their memory in your heart and mind, continue to love them all the time. See them for what they really are, true friends are angels sent from afar.

Garden Club Prayer

Help us, O God, to be mindful of the beauties around us. May we grow with our flowers in gentleness, patience, courage, laughter and religion.

As we turn the brown soil and plant our seed, may we learn faith, faith in the goodness of the earth, the clemency of the sun, the fullness of the clouds.

May we be grateful for the privelege of being a co-worker with God in the creation of even one tiny flower, and grant that we may know the great joy that comes from sharing with others.
