Fact:<\/strong> Plants do respond to sound. <\/strong>Talking to plants to help them grow is a well-known old wives’ tale, but studies have shown vibration (like music, or perhaps even the sweet sound of your voice) can affect plant growth. Plus, the Myth Busters (in an admittedly not-so-scientific study) compared a silent greenhouse to one where they piped in a voice soundtrack and found that plants in the latter grew more.<\/em><\/p>\n

There was a lot of giggling going on here.<\/p>\n

Laugh and giggle time.<\/p><\/div>\n

Robin came over to assist Mary in getting our summertime party invitations ready. She uses Zazzle and does a great job.<\/p>\n

Mary and Robin worked on the invitations.<\/p><\/div>\n

After everyone departed, Mary and I went to the pool and the swim spa.\u00a0 \u00a0All was well until we got a call with bad news. We headed to Jan’s house to share with her in person (news you did not want to message or call someone else).<\/p>\n
