In addition, let me also state that this is my first attempt at being the guardian of a blog, as such there is much I need to learn. Since I am continually in the learning mode, I don't expect that to be a major issue. >>Read more »

The White House, with its new occupants, has another new addition thanks to First Lady Michelle Obama – an organic garden. Michelle planted the kitchen garden with local school children, and since it was planted the garden has yielded more than eighty pounds of produce which has been used in the White House kitchen as well as distributed to the children who helped plant it.

I think it’s fantastic. Not everyone shares my view.
