Two to Six

For April 22, 2013, Earth Day and April 26, 2013 which was Arbor Day I was involved in so many different festivities which was wonderful to meet new people and learn more. Started off things right with the Garden Guy, Derek Thomas whose work can be viewed here. I learned that Cilantro seeds are what makes Coriander and that was great to know because I love Cilantro. Multi- Media artist Julee Dickerson-Thompson made taught me how to make stick dolls which was fun, and my doll stood up on her own. Magenta yarn for her hair, a hot glue gun, stapler, needle, thread and intricate designed fabric has made my stick doll very profound. The last week in April was all about education, exercising muscles, creativity and plenty of good eating.

After the conclusion of both days I had a filling dinner at the House of Prayer for All People which just reopened their kitchen January 2013 and the soul food is delicious.

My Earth Month

This has been a great month thus far and next week is going to be filled with plenty of fun things ahead to do.
For those who do not get out enough or enjoy the surroundings of the natural environment then check out the   Smithsonian Anacostia Community Museum for Earth Day and Arbor Day from 11 am to 3 pm for celebrating this month. The exact location is 1901 Fort Place SE Washington, DC 20020 and check this out for more details of what is going on with this museum.

Other places that DC offer to enjoy plenty of trees and fresh air are the National Arboretum and the bike trails throughout DC.
