Folkin' It!
Dancing is one of those activities that keep us fun-loving and young-acting! And even if you're not a dancer (tsk, tsk), then watching dancers, to most, is fascinating. There's nothing quite like movin' to the grooves or groovin' to the moves. Music is such a marvelous subject to teach because it's all-encompassing. These sites are informative and fun and I've tried to have a wide assortment of styles, so hopefully there'll be something for everyone.

Microclimates
Many world-renowned gardens utilize both natural and manipulated microclimates to achieve drama and beauty. Designers of Sissinghurst Castle Gardens in Kent, England and Butterstream Gardens, in County Meath, The Irish Republic exploited existing structures like old brick walls and buildings along with natural influences such as compass direction, water, and large trees. The Isle of Wight surrounded by waters of the Solent is a "working example" of bodies of water influencing a regional or neighborhood microclimate.
