Frost and Ray

So many things make me happy. I'd like to post them daily to make a collection. The challenge will be not to repeat myself!
  Reading: A poem by David Ray called "Thanks, Robert Frost". In it, he talks about "hope for the past", that what we did in the past will turn out all right. Other poems by Robert Frost that I like are: "Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening", "Dust of Snow", and "Fire and Ice". That last one was from high school days!
  Food: Jams from Hillsview Farms in Maynooth. My favourite so far is gooseberry. The one I have open now is blackberry jelly, and it's very nice on crunchy toast.
  Learned: Boston ferns are great air purifiers. B. C. Wolverton and Anne Johnson from NASA conducted a study in 1989 which tested the ability of house plants to remove toxins like formaldehyde and benzene from the air. Some of the best ones are dracaena, peace lily and Boston ferns. The transpiration rate of these plants also improves humidity in the indoor air.
  Everyday Things: Maggie the labradoodle. She makes me happy just by being on the earth.
