Now on the 16th day of “No Plant Buying March” I feel like a strange weight has been taken off my shoulders. I think I was putting a lot of pressure on myself to constantly work on the garden making it perfect. Now, when I do my daily inspection of the garden, I am paying more attention to the plants, and less to the empty spaces I need to fill. Here is a picture of a new variety of Daffodil I planted this year. It is supposed to be Ice King, but that’s not what it looks like at all. I think the dry/ wet/ freezing/ heat wave weather may have affected them a bit. Either way I think she looks so pretty!

by Hourly History
Genre: History
FREE for a limited time
The Space Race
During fourteen years, from 1955 to 1969, the Soviet Union and the United States of America were engaged in a dramatic race against each other to conquer space. This period encompassed dramatic victories, humbling defeats, and more than one tragedy. This is a story of human courage and ingenuity at its best and political maneuvering at its worst, of almost unbelievable technological progress undertaken with the object not just of advancing human knowledge but also of proving the superiority of one country over another.
Inside you will read about…
From Missiles to Rockets
Russia Takes the Lead
Early American Failures
The First Men in Space
Fatalities on Both Sides
The Moon Landing
And much more!
The space race culminated in man setting foot upon the moon, but each milestone on the way to that final goal was bitterly contested. Two powerful nations pledged a substantial part of their national resources to beat the other in a scientific and technological race to be the first to achieve new records. In terms of contests between major powers, there has never been anything quite as dramatic, public, and sustained as the space race; it remains one of the most fascinating and engaging episodes of the Cold War.
