Earth Day is Every Day

"Everyday is Earth Day,
If it's cold or wet or hot
Pitch in to save the planet
It's the only one we've got."



Earth Day is, in fact everyday. But, technically-yesterday was Earthday. In celebration, I planted 3 azaleas, and in the process probably killed millions of ants. Just doing my part, you know? So, I thought that I would use this opportunity to educate on the anatomy of the ant. Because without our knowledge we are powerless, or is it Knowledge is Power, or-wait was it Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires..I don't know. Whatever. Anyway, I'm including some illustrations to help you better understand the fragile, yet, beautiful fragments that make up this magnificent ant creature. So, hopefully, what I want you to get out of this is to understand that it is not just US on this Mother Earth. We are simply just a small piece that fits into this this giant puzzle. Without wind, without water, without food...without ants-we simply couldn't survive.

As the 4th Lost Wiseman, Jack Handy, once stated, "Worship the potato? The idea seemed silly to me. But then I thought, what else is more deserving of worship? It's simple, it comes from the earth, and it can kill you if you disobey it."
