[Ross... Outstanding! Can't wait to chat about this.]

Here are 3 tips for caring for houseplants...  
🍂  You have to be careful of pest problems by checking your plants regularly for spider mites, aphids, mealybugs and scale.  

🌷  Another tip is to keep plants away from drafts like doors that open frequently to the outdoors or windows without insulation.  

🥀  A 3rd tip is to not let your plant become pot bound.  When a plant gets pot bound the roots get too big and become restricted.   The plants dry out quickly when this happens.


These are some ideas to find indoor plants that will purify the air in your home and some plants that will liven things up by bringing in color!  
🌼  It's important to have fresh air in our home to breath.  Here are 2 indoor plants that can make the air in your home pure and fresh:  Monstera Deliciosa  and Pothos. 

🌺  To bring some colorful plants into your home, here are 2 suggestions:  African Violets and Hibiscus.

Am I A Drummer With Autism Or Am I A Person With Autism Who Plays Drums? By Andres Ortiz, 02/2021 Photo courtesy of Andres Ortiz, Photography Class Project My name is Andres Ortiz and I have high functioning autism. I’ve been playing drums for about 16 years. Playing drums makes me feel energetic, happy and special both inside and out. Learning to play the drums has helped me in lots of ways.  Not only do I have a better appreciation of lots of kinds of music but my social skills have gotten a lot better because being in a band means that you have to understand other people.   Music has been my link to the neurotypical community.  When I’m behind the kit, no one knows that I am different.

  Michael Jackson,His Music, His Magic By Melissa Connolly 02/2021 "A star can never die. It just turns into a smile and melts back into the cosmic music, the dance of life. ” Michael Jackson I became a true Michael Jackson fan when I saw the movie ’’Free Willy’’. At the very end of the movie Michael Jackson sings and dances to a very moving song entitled “There You Will Be.” I was so inspired by this song that I became a Michael Jackson fan for life. Depending on the song and it’s rhythm, It puts me in a certain mood. For example, the song “Beat It” makes me want to dance. Another song “I Can’t Stop Loving You’’ makes me feel very mellow and relaxed. I feel a peaceful and easy feeling. The song “Human Nature” brings joy and happiness to my life. At the moment, I am taking a Michael Jackson Art Therapy Class. Each week we create different and beautiful art projects such as collages, watercolor paintings and even something called a Dream Catcher. Our art teacher inspires us by dre...
