  • 1,864 reminders of why Christ came to this world

    They’re called Crosses of Mercy, three tall crosses — two pale blue and one gold — planted across at least 29 states and Washington, D.C., plus Zambia and the Philippines.
    Where I live in Florida, I’ve seen several sets of them and I’ve always wondered about them since they don’t seem to be connected to any one church. They’re usually out in the middle of nowhere, randomly planted on the highway.

    Fertilize, mow, spray, fertilize, mow, spray … why not just mow high and enjoy the clover?

    Fall is the time to fertilize, if you must.
