Yep, Its Nice

Ahhhh...let's take a minute now to stop and smell the roses. They smell nice. Now lets take a minute to stop and admire this blog...not the words I'm writing, but the blog itself. Its really nice also. Nice job Tim. I really like what you've done with the place. As for my blog in particular, I decided to go with a blue/green scheme because it seemed to be easy on the eyes. For the text on the left, I chose grey because it seemed like a mellow choice. It really shows up well against the green background also. See that box on the upper left? I assume that Tim made that snappy looking logo. Kudos. That's me in the picture on the top right. Putting my picture up there lets everyone get a better idea about who I am. Under that is my general information which is pretty accurate. But enough about me. Let me divert your attention something different. There. That was slick. What is the difference between sand and dirt? Sand definitely has a different texture to it. I'd venture to guess that sand must've come from something bigger. Like it is really just a bunch of chips from bigger stones...and where does all the sand go that the snow plows plow onto the grass. I'm not talking about the sand on the side of the road where the streetsweepers get it...I mean on the grass. It seems like they've been plowing roads for years and there should be huge piles of sand on the grass, but there's not. Can grass grow in sand? For some reason I really doubt it because sand is so loose and probably can't hold water for very long. That's just a guess though. There must be a difference between sand and regular dirt. Probably nutrients or some other high school science answer.

Actually, I've been raking the plow sand off my grass for the last few years. Grass was growing there, but sparsely. Bush's sure dont grow in sand. We lost a couple to Winter-burn this year. Not much of a green thumb.

Well there is this thing called sea grass which is a protected plant (downhere atleast) that grows in the sand on the beach. They have it up at the cape too, you might know what I am speaking of. And yes, sand comes from the constant chipping of stones. Like beach sand some of it comes from the erosion of shells and bigger rocks. Sorry to mention so much about the beach but it is a beautiful day here today. I hear the rain has been getting you guys up there.
