Today at our Farmers Market, we had a special event called Flower Power. Besides two of our farmers that bring flowers to market, we had two more come and bring theirs, plus our library had a kids activity where the kids made flowers out of colorful paper. It was so much fun. I bought some flowers and then several friends that were visiting the market got flowers and I ended up "babysitting" all these flowers while they did their shopping. I loved being surrounded by all these beautiful flowers!

Summersrhyth - Driving in Pittsburgh can be tricky and not for the faint of heart. That's where I learned to drive and my Father made sure I could handle steep hills with both an automatic and manual transmission. One habit I developed is to use parking break, especially on a hill - and I still do that even though I now live in a fairly flat area. The other trick involved positioning your wheels so that the curb could act as a safety block. So if you were facing downhill you would turn your wheel to the right so that your tires touched he curb, facing uphill you turn your wheel to the left away from the curb. Thankfully our cars all have Hill Assist which helps prevent roll back on a hill.
