My blog has been a good friend for many years. We've had ups and downs, not visiting each other as often as we'd like, but I always knew I could write and she would respond–never judging, always validating–like a true friend would do.
I've been blogging for almost seven years, and one might think that was a nice run and I earned a good rest. But do we give up on friendship after a certain number of years? No. True friendships last a lifetime, even if we take a break now and again.
For me, blogging didn't start out as a garden diary, as most blogs seem to. Rather, my blog focused on garden maintenance for the Mid-Atlantic region. (I began writing about this topic in 2001 when I started my business and the Gardening with Confidence® website.) Naively, when I started blogging, I didn't know a small blogging community existed; I just started blogging. Those blogging before me, found me, as now I know they would.
Each day, I count my blessing to be gainfully employed as a full-time writer. Lately, I've struggled to find the extra time to write for myself, but with my book finished, I've decided to make the time. I am re-committing to providing interesting content to my personal blog. You could say I'm renewing my vowels with a dear friend.
Going forward with this renewed commitment, a fresh look was in order. I turned to Mitch Canter of Studio Nash Vegas. Mitch was recommended to me by my dear friend Shawna Coronado. I asked Mitch for something clean, crisp, simple, and oh, since I write primarily for magazines, I wanted a similar format. Frankly, the standard wordpress themes were all starting to look alike. I wanted something different. Seven years of blog reading and writing will do that, I suppose.
I gave Mitch a list of features to add. One of those features was to have a place for corporate ads since I'd been approached by many companies to buy ad space. I needed to figure out how to add those links and widgets in a clean format without me looking like a NASCAR race car driver. I also wanted a retail shop to sell my book and other goodies as my business grows.
Another main feature was adding a daily tip box for maintenance advice. I started out writing about maintenance, but wanted an efficient way to display it. You will now find a "Helen's Tip of the Day" box on my blog. I hope you visit each day to learn what to be doing in the garden today.
Thank you to all who were patient with me in getting my book written. I'm now back having coffee each morning with my blog, as old friends will do. We tap, we chat, we share pictures to laugh, cry, and delight in gardening as only like-minded friends will do. I'm honored that YOU are my friend too.

Hello Wildcat fans!
If you missed the action this past weekend that's too bad because we competed in our LAST games of the season. I can't believe the first ever sand volleyball season (and Monday's With Madi) is over…it feels like it just started! What's even more bizarre is being done with volleyball for the year. It has been go, go, go for me since the beginning of August with the start of indoor volleyball and then the transition to sand. I'm used to being busy with something volleyball related and today I have an unusual amount of free time. It's a weird feeling.
Anyway, back to the volleyball!
Saturday we started off the morning against No. 1-ranked USC, which unfortunately did not end up going in our favor. The second match was against Boise State. We bounced back from the rough morning to sweep Boise in the afternoon. There was some pretty intense wind on Saturday along with some rain but that didn't stop the sand cats from competing their tails off. I am so happy that we were able to end the season with a win! What a great feeling! This season was filled with ups and downs (mostly ups!) but I am so honored to say that I was a part of the University of Arizona's first ever sand volleyball team. For this being the first year of the program I just want to express how proud I am of all of my teammates. Each and every one of them grew tremendously as sand players this season and I wouldn't want to be out on the courts each and every day with anyone else. Even though our season is relatively short, I feel like I have learned so much that will transfer over to my indoor game that will be helpful in the long run.
I am definitely already missing volleyball in general (and how tan I was getting from sand volleyball). I look forward to getting back on the indoor and sand courts next year for my SENIOR season. It's crazy how time flies; it feels like I just finished my freshman year. The upcoming season will be here before you know it and Monday's With Madi will most definitely be back!
I want to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who came out and supported us this season! We are so appreciative to have our fans, friends, and family come watch us play. It wouldn't be the same without you guys!
Also…shout out to teammate Emily Kiser, happy birthday!!!
Until next season…BEARDOWN!!
Madi Kingdon

The sword William Wallace wielded to win Scotland's freedom from England is headed for a New York tribute to Braveheart's death 700 years ago.
Mel Gibson portrayed the Scottish freedom fighter in the 1995 hit "Braveheart."
The Stirling, Scotland, council earlier this month agreed to allow the national treasure to travel to New York. The National Museum of Scotland prepared the relic for the long trip, Sky News said.
Guards will watch the sword day and night once it arrives in New York as the centerpiece of the Scotland Village exhibition, which runs April 2-10.

Recap | Box Score | Photo Gallery 1 | Photo Gallery 2
Arizona Head Coach Sean Miller
"We wanted to win tonight, and it's disappointing that we didn't but I think our team is in a unique position in that we have scheduled our first exhibition game in October, and both teams are quality basketball programs (Seattle Pacific and Humboldt State). I have to give Seattle Pacific a lot of credit. They are disciplined, very well coached, and tonight they had three guys in double figures, like Jobi Wall with twenty-four points."
"We teach the guys in practice, but it's the games where we get the insight. At the same time, we do not have all the answers, trying to work four new guys into the rotation. Offense was better tonight. It was really the lack of defense that was the problem. When Seattle Pacific wanted a basket, they went inside, when they wanted a three, they took the shot. We probably had about four or five intelligence breakdowns, but at the same time, we are still 0-0."
"Exhibition is a time to learn about the team and improve, and that was accomplished tonight. We have to be better on both offense and defense, but it's hard to understand early how hard you have to play. It was hard to get second shots tonight because Seattle Pacific did an excellent job blocking out."
"We played better in the second half because our effort level went up, and we got a number of consecutive stops that helped us get back in. Our bigs though, had a rough night. In our center position, we had one defensive rebound for the entire game. We're still trying to figure out the best players to put out on the court, and unlike last year when we played ten each game, we might not play that many this season."
"We just have to get better. Next Tuesday we play Humboldt State, and they another very good Division II team that could win a championship. Against them, we will see a lot more like what we faced tonight."
Arizona Player Quotes
Junior Forward Solomon Hill:
If this game is a learning experience...
"This was the first time Jesse lost in McKale. It doesn't count toward our record though. We just need to watch film and get everybody on the same track. We just didn't execute on offense, or defense for that matter. We were leaving people on an island all game. We didn't do a very good job of helping. They ran a 4-out and they were all wide out. It was hard to help down low with that big guy down there."
On the comeback...
"We made some good plays down the stretch and we got the crowd fired up, but they punched us right back, and that sucks to get punched back."
On if the confidence of the young guys is shaken...
"They need to take this as motivation, at least that's how I would if I was in their situation. We just need to learn from out mistakes and pay more attention in practice. We're not going against our sets anymore, we're going against the other team's sets. We're going to have to start paying attention to the scouting in these games coming up."
Senior Forward Jesse Perry:
On his impression of the game...
"We just didn't execute like we usually do in practice. They pass, cut, and set screens. They don't do much dribbling like our guys do in practice because we have a lot of guys that can take you off the dribble."
On rebounding...
"That's just something I can't explain, it was just one of those days. I probably had about two rebounds and that is unacceptable. We work on rebounding every practice, and we just didn't execute that tonight."

Rail travel from High Wycombe to Gatwick.
High Wycombe has cctv shopGatwick, London Gatwick Airport, Gatwick, West Sussex, RH6 0JH.
Airports by rail, with Holiday Extras, who I work for. I am not making a commission on this (damn).
To take advantage of these prices you will need to prove you are a leisure traveller, on the way to the airport, so you will need to provide either your flight numbers or yr holiday booking reference. I don't think you will need to provide this when you arrive at high-wycombe station but you may be asked to give them on your journey from high-wycombe station to the airport.
Going to gatwick airport by train is great, you can take a nap, read a book (even at night), play travel scrabble, or just gaze out of the window... The other restriction to buying these cheap train tickets from high-wycombe station to gatwick airport is that there must be at least two adults travelling together. But another great benefit is that children go free. All children under 5 go free, and then one child over 5 but under sixteen per adult travelling by train to the airport.
make sure you leave plenty of time to get to gatwick airport early enough to eat, shop and so on, so check the times of trains from the station before you go. If you have time to kill at the airport you can always read or play a game again! As you have bought yr ticket in advance, you don't need to fret about the opening times of high-wycombe station.
the station opening times: Monday-Friday 05:50-20:30, Saturday 06:40-20:30, Sunday 07:10-20:30, .

This is a gorgeous gown. It would be tea length for a tall enough person. My model is 5'6″. There is not a train as a part of this dress. Making is easy to move around in. It also comes with a matching bolero jacket and garment bag. It has never been worn and still has the tags attached. It has criss cross rouching at the top followed by a pleated belt. It has ribbon flowers all over the bottom along with sequined lace insets. This dress has a built in bra and zips up the back. It is very light and flowy. The actual color is closest to the first picture.

Solar Impulse Lifts Solar Industry to New Heights
Someone once said: "Your vocation in life is where your greatest joy meets the world's greatest need."
Without question, the pilots of Solar Impulse, Dr. Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg, are living proof of that. These two great adventurers made solar and aviation history last weekend when Solar Impulse touched down at New York's JFK Airport.
How climate change makes it harder to keep the lights on
Coal plants are shutting down because of a lack of cooling water. Hydropower dams are struggling to generate electricity because reservoir levels are dropping. Western wildfires are damaging power lines, causing blackouts in cities like San Diego.
Students Build a Solar Car to Race in the Australian Outback
Hot off the heels of a solar plane making the final leg of its journey across the United States, the students behind the Stanford Solar Car Project began the final preparations for their own solar-powered, cross-country journey. They will compete against 46 other teams in the Great Solar Challenge, a 2,000-mile race in the Australian Outback.
In Pictures: Solar-Powered Plane Completes Epic Transcontinental Flight
Bertrand Piccard has grown accustomed to the Solar Impulse skeptics. He's used to people talking about its cruising speed of just 30 mph while dismissing the fact that his aircraft has but one seat and is powered solely by the sun.
India's Massive Blackout Calls for Smarter Grid, from the Bottom up
The only good thing about India's daily blackouts is that when there's a truly massive power outage, people are prepared for it.
Top U.S. Solar Company Profits Amid Red for Industry: Energy
First Solar Inc. (FSLR) Chairman Mike Ahearn has found the best way to make money from photovoltaics is to sell whole power plants to Warren Buffett and NextEra Energy Inc. (NEE) instead of competing with China on panel sales.
AP: Mass. Lawmakers Advance Renewable Energy Bill
State lawmakers have approved a bill that would require utilities to purchase more of their electricity from renewable sources.
Wal-Mart Beats Apple, Ikea in U.S. Solar Installations
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (WMT) (WMT), the world's largest retailer, has installed more than 150 U.S. solar projects and expects to have as much as 90 megawatts of capacity by year-end, more than Ikea Group and Apple Inc. (AAPL) (AAPL)
Solar Power Shifts into Top Gear
Dunsfold Park in Surrey, home to the BBC's 'Top Gear' test track, last month became the first business park in the UK to be fed entirely by green energy.

Sophomore second baseman Jayna Spivey went 2-for-3 in Sunday's loss
April 22, 2012
By Megan Kramper
DES MOINES, Iowa - The Southern Illinois softball team surrendered a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the third, as it fell to Drake 4-2 Sunday at Ron Buel Field.
The Salukis (30-13, 14-5 MVC) scored runs in the second and third to take the lead, but the Bulldogs' Hayley Nybo took a pitch from Alyssa Wunderlich for a two-run home run to tie the game in the third.
Drake (20-24, 11-9 MVC) scored one more on a double in the same inning as the Salukis went cold at the plate in the remaining frames, stranding 12 runners in the game in total.
Nybo added to the lead with an RBI single in the fifth off Brittney Lang, who came in the third inning to replace Wunderlich. Wunderlich suffered her first Missouri Valley Conference loss and moved her record to 10-2 overall and 5-1 MVC.
Drake pitcher Jordan Gronewald rebounded after two tough outings against the Salukis Saturday. Gronewald pitched a complete game as she struck out two in the effort.
"I don't think we pitched particularly well today and I think Jordan Gronewald did a good job of getting out of situations when we were on base and making pitches when she needed to," SIU head coach Kerri Blaylock said.
The Salukis managed nine hits in the contest including two hits each from Mallory Duran-Sellers and Jayna Spivey. Spivey and Morgan Barchan had the Salukis' two RBI.
SIU drew three walks on the afternoon, putting them at 193 for the year, just one shy of the single season record for walks set in 2004 and 2005.
The Salukis remain in second place in the league standings, two games behind leader Northern Iowa who dropped their series finale with Missouri State, 1-0, in eight innings Sunday.
The Dawgs take the series win and will look to rebound Tuesday as they wrap up their series with Evansville at Cooper Stadium in a single game beginning at 5 p.m.
"I don't ever want to lose a game but this (Drake) is a tough place to play," Blaylock said "I'm glad we took two out of three but we need to come out ready to play on Tuesday."

From Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina
Reported on by Kendra Bunyon For Wrestling News World
Pre-RAW Commercial
First he was fired, then banned for life, but Big Show is still threatening legal action. Tonight Punk fights back from being attacked by The Wyatt Family, at the top of the hour.
RAW Starts
Punk vs Harper
Punk's music and out he comes in ring gear – pink and black – and 'it's clobberin' time!' Video of Punk winning last week, but then The Wyatt Family out for the attack. After Rowan and Harper beat down Punk, Bray to the ring. Bray takes a head butt, but then Bray with Sister Abigail. Bray said, "The devil made me do it!" The Wyatt Family's entrance. Video of The Wyatt Family's attack on Bryan backstage last week. Bryan spent the night in the hospital for that one, the rest of the week at home. The Wyatt Family at the bottom of the ramp. "CM Punk!" chants.
Punk on Harper, but then Punk takes a big right in a corner. Punk slapped down in the center of the ring, then blows in the opposite corner. Chops to Punk, then Harper grinds his knee into Punk's face. Punk comes back with kicks, but then Punk eats an upper cut that drops him to the mat. Punk runs the ropes, but then elevates Harper up and out, but as Punk tries to fly out onto Harper, he eats Harper's right forearm through the ropes. Harper in for two. "CM Punk!" chants. Harper slams Punk onto the mat, then drops an elbow. Harper bellows a noise, then goes for the gator roll. Harper stares off in a deranged and vacant way. To their feet, Punk's head still held. Punk free, comes at Harper with blows, but one of Harper's blows stops Punk. Punk whipped, but moves out of the way of the big boot. Harper up and over the top to land outside. Punk flies out onto Harper. This time Punk lands the move and Harper lands against announce. Rowan around the ring to face Punk, mask still intact.
Harper with his arms locked around Punk's face. Punk struggling to his feet, and free, but then eats a short clothesline. Bray watches the match with a smirk as Punk is slingshotted up into the second rope. Harper stalks around Punk, then drops an elbow for two. Another elbow, but only one this time. Blows from Harper on the mat, then ripping at Punk's nose. Another gator roll (Cole' calling it a gator roll this week, not a death roll as has been mentioned in the past). Punk up, gets a foot in Harper's face, then on the corner to hit a tornado DDT on Harper! "CM Punk!" chants arise again. Blows from Punk, a slap from Harper. Kick from Punk, then forearms.

Chair to Rowan through the ropes, but then Bray onto Bryan's injured (and taped) shoulder, but Punk grabs the chair and starts swinging. Bryan and Punk are left standing in the ring as The Wyatt Family flee. Bray smiles, grabs his hat and points at Bryan and Punk in the ring. Bray is all smiles as they head up the ramp.
Announce Segment
Cole talks about Big Show being banned. Video of Cole's interview with Trip from dot.com.
Trip – I'm supposed to be concerned with Big Show frivolous lawsuit, and Otunga's irrelevant opinion. These the hard hitting questions you want to ask me Jeraldo? You want breaking news, as of this moment, Big Show is banned from the WWE for life.
Cole (on announce) – Is this a knee jerk reaction from Trip?
JBL – No, this isn't knee jerk, this is smart business!
They show video of Big Show's latest attack on RAW last week.
And we get to choose Orton's opponent tonight will it be Ziggler, Big E or Miz? Vote on the WWE App!
Sandow and The Real Americans will face Goldust, Cody and Cena tonight!
Recap of the attack by The Wyatt Family, but Bryan to the rescue, and with Punk they take out the cult!
Backstage Segment
Renee – I'm assuming you weren't expecting it to be a fair fight tonight?
Punk – No, but I been dealing with Heyman and his goons, so I know what it feels like to be outnumbered for months. I accept being outnumbered, as long as everyone else accepts the fact that they're going to be out-gunned. I knew what was going to be outnumbered tonight, but what I didn't realize is that I'm not the only one who has an issue with The Wyatt Family.
Announce Segment
Cole says we haven't seen Heyman since HIAC, but he's on the phone.
Cole – Paul you there?
Heyman – I'm not here.
Cole – That being said, where are you, and what's your medical condition?
Heyman – I'm in Europe and I've seen multiple specialists and seeking alternative medicine for the multiple injuries that I sustained at the hands of Punk at HIAC. I'm traveling with my physician. Due to the repeated blows, I've been diagnosed with acute thoracic spine trauma. I have a herniation of the C5 and C7, severely bruised kidneys, a nasal fracture and severe nasal swelling. What Punk did to me, an innocent man, athlete, and the father of two small children is a travesty. By entering HIAC, Punk repaid me by repaying me with a vicious beating after the match was over. (crying) After everything Punk and I have been through, it's inexcusable. Punk and the 'Universe' owe me an apology for the beating I took at Punk's hands.
Cole – Paul, are you crying?
Heyman – Wimpering… (phone goes dead)
In Ring Segment
Ryback to the ring. Video from the WWE App – Ryback smooshed a cupcake into Hornswoggle. Santino came in and told Ryback to pick on someone his own size. Ryback asked Santino if he wants cake. Santino says, "You know I don't eat carbs after 6, Ryback!" Then Santino pointed over Ryback's shoulder at Khali. Ryback tells them to plan on it, then calls them freaks before leaving.
Ryback vs Khali
They lock up, Ryback pushed back and both Santino and Hornswoggle taunt from outside. They lock up, Ryback knocked to his bum. Ryback with a shot at Khali, Khali back with a blow to Ryback's face. Back elbows to Ryback's face in a corner, then a big chop on Ryback in the next corner. Khali has Ryback by the ear, and Ryback screams like a child. Chops from Khali, then Ryback's choked in a corner. Khali hits Ryback with a rather stiff chop to the chest. Ryback tries to lift Khali, but can't.

All month long WWE has partnered up with Susan G. Komen Foundation to fight breast cancer. Rise Above Cancer is a cause I believe in, the fight for life. We've all heard the numbers, each year hundreds of thousands of people are effected by breast cancer. WWE believes in the fight so much a that the pink merchandize will be available all year long. Even though October has come and gone, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Susan G. Komen Foundation directly so that someday we will find a cure! I just want to say thank you to the Divas and the Superstars for going pink, us wearing it is one thing, you supporting it is another. Sometimes you put your feelings aside for me and you support a true unbelievable cause, and that's the fight for life. Joining me tonight is a very important group of the WWE 'Universe'. If you would please stand, we have some breast cancers survivors and their families in the audience. You see them wearing their pink shirts. A two time survivor ringside. Your support has helped them. These people have overcome unsurmountable (sic) odds, and they have never stopped fighting, they are the true champions, thank you for joining us tonight. I think the best way to prove it is by bringing my partners out to show and prove, the Champs are here!
