Grumble:
I’m beginning to see a correlation between Mother Nature and your actual Mother!  Indulge me for a moment.

Mother nature brought your ass into this world (or so some would believe)… and your Momma did, too!  Mother Nature often controls what you can do, where you can go… and Mommy Dearest does, too!  Mother Nature’s sunlight and cock-a-doodle-do-ing is your alarm clock in the morning… and your Mummy hollering (from down the hall) for you to wake your ass up before you miss the school bus is your alarm clock, too!

I rest my case.  Mother Nature and your Mother are forever intertwined.

Goodness:
Do some good for the planet this Earth Day (which is EVERY day) and for your Mother!   Pick up the phone and call her… it wouldn’t kill you to take a few minutes and tell her you love her.  Then, after she’s done nosing around in your life, tell her you’ve dedicated a tree to honor her, your Mother(nature). 

She’ll sniffle…  you’ll get brownie points -- which will come back in spades when your birthday rolls around.

Go:
Cock-a-doodle-do yourself over to TreerPeople.org and, for as little at 25 bucks, you will get a certificate to frame that says you’re a good little sapling.

Now, if you really want to bond with Mother Nature, GET INVOLVED with Tree People's tree plantings, tree care events or simply volunteer your time with the outreach team.

Sometimes it just feels good to get your hands dirty.
