Shazam (!) and just like that May has arrived!

Time (weeks, months) seems to pass and sneak up fast.

Presenting Wednesday Reader full of fun and fascination.

Beginning with:

LESLIE ELMAN'S TRIVIA AND FASCINATING FACTS
Mittens + famous writers' being rejected + porcupines.  Intriguing.

QUICK QUESTION
I didn't or don't recall every having an imaginary friend as a kid.  However, I remember my grandma telling stories about Boo-Boo-Shorty - the imaginary friend my uncle had as a kid.  Funny!  Did you have an imaginary friend as a kid?

Great Wednesday Read to present today:  fascinating + fun + domestic goddess as a sandwich maker at home.

Beginning with --

STEPHANIE'S CHIC ON THE CHEAP
Cool gardening tips.
I, personally, have more than a few clay or decorative pots outside just waiting for a new plant "to move in."  Totally gonna happen as it will give my outdoor surroundings happy and beauty from now 'til the first frost of winter.
Sponges on the bottom of pot.  Check.
A little cinnamon mixed in with potting soil.  Check.
Coffee grounds sprinkled on top.  Check.

I do know my local Starbucks' offer used coffee grounds in 5# bags free for the hauling - a gift from them to someone's garden - because I've grabbed one or two while inside ordering a tall iced coffee or an iced chai latte, non-fat with 2 shots of espresso (my summer fav go-to).

So park, go inside, stand in line, order a cup of coffee or iced tea and look around and see if you're lucky that there might be a bag or 2 of the used coffee grounds just waiting for you to grab and take home.  Score!

I'm on the hunt for a clear shoe bag for herbs to plant and hang.  I know exactly where I'm gonna hang my shoe-bag mini herb garden.

Such cool, trick ideas, Steph.  Thanks for another column of great, innovative ideas!

QUICK QUESTION
What motivates me?  Several things.  However top 2 on my list are hanging out with happy people and jumping out of bed every morning with passion, excited for the creative project I'm currently working on.

FILM CREW 101 - SCRIPT SUPERVISOR
