Happy Healthy Hopeful Earth Day 2020 50th Anniversary!

As we approach today's 50th anniversary, it is with sadness that our Earth is experiencing such trying times with the Covid-19 Coronavirus Pandemic.  As the world stands still, however, the planet and nature are returning to a more natural and stress free state.


Happy Healthy Hopeful Earth Day 2020 50th Anniversary!

Let us all learn from this, how precious our lives are and the planet that we live on is!  Let's try to continue to use less of everything, spew less gasses in the air and dump less on our lands.


Perhaps we can find a happy medium between consumption and need,  and above all, not enter upon greed. 

So, to this we say, Happy Healthy and Hopeful Earth Day!
