Body I would suggest that if you’ve never attended a state music competition, it’s time to block off the first Saturday in May and book a hotel for next year. There’s a good chance that if I can go again next year, I will.

Body At some point between last week and this week, I blinked, and suddenly, everything turned green! I’m always surprised by how fast this transition happens here in North Dakota, but those long days sure make any vegetation happy, I’m sure.

Body Sometimes, I run out of space in my garden or have extra transplants after planting the garden. I usually end up planting these extras in my containers. Container gardening is a great way to supplement in-ground or raised bed production.

Body Wait a minute. I wasn’t done talking about April yet, and now it’s May! That’s a good sign, I guess; I wanted May to get here, I just didn’t realize how quickly it was arriving.

Body By Bob Simmons, CEO, Simmons Multimedia As you’ll recall, I’ve been pulled over for speeding on the Massachusetts Turnpike. I’m still dressed in my three-legged clown costume after having finished my adults only standup routine at the strip bar.
