We respect your time.

This newsletter will take

4.28 minutes to read.

If you love spring tulips, it may be time to plant bulbs...or to think about planting them. Home gardeners in USDA Zones 1 through 7 usually can begin in September (before the ground freezes), but not if it's still too warm. Keep an eye on your extended weather forecast.

Organizing Tips and Ideas from GON Readers

GON Reader Letter #1

All Of Your Training Suggestions Came Into Practice Recently!

Maria,

I have been reading your newsletter for several years and put almost all of your suggestions to practice! I wanted to let you know how much this "training" came to help me recently, in two ways.

First, my daughter just got married and I planned the whole wedding in less than a year (she asked me to and everything was with their approval). I was super organized during the process utilizing a 3-ring binder with dividers to keep track of vendors, payments, contracts, spreadsheets and checklists.

This kept us on top of all the details and everything (pretty much) ran smoothly. She is a super researcher on ideas from Pinterest and Etsy. We were able to incorporate many special small details and not drive ourselves crazy!

The second way was after the wedding. After all the busy-ness of the year, I felt almost lost in what to do next. So, I went back to basics in organizing and cleaning my home.

I had let some of the organizing go, drawers got cluttered, papers, etc. This REALLY helped pull me out of my fog.

I'm excited for the change of seasons and the fresh start it gives. Thank goodness I was as organized as I was before the wedding! I cringe to think of what I would be facing now if I wasn't!

Thank you so much!!!

-- Lisa from Connecticut

Thanks for Suggesting I Switch to Digital Magazine Reading

Maria,

A while ago, I read your recommendations about subscribing to a digital format for magazines. Not long after, I came across an offer for subscribing. I read the fine print and decided to subscribe. I am so glad I did.

I have macular degeneration and reading magazines (or anything else) is difficult. This service has four magazines I currently subscribe to and many, many more available, so I may find more I would like.

They also have back issues so I can catch up and get rid of the pile waiting for me to get to them. I am able to read on my iPad and enlarge as needed. So helpful.

By the way, I'm glad I subscribed to your Anything and Everything resource. I always enjoy reading it. I also want to thank you for making this publication two columns as it's easier to read if I choose to print it out.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

My Suggestions About Exercising When Short on Time

Greetings Maria from 'Downunder'!

Amongst the many emails I receive each day, I make sure that I always read yours. Very grateful for your advice.

Some suggestions about exercise when short of time:

1) I stretch in bed before I get up, hanging on to the bed posts to do so.

2) I do the hokey pokey as it only takes approximately five minutes

3) I undertake the super brain yoga exercise by the

late master Cho Kok Sui; only takes approximately two minutes.

4) I watch YouTube. There are yoga exercises to perform whilst in bed.

Wishing you a a Godzillion of blessings,

-- Mirrie from Australia

"Great article...The Pitfall of Last Minute Dinner Decisions (July 19 issue).

This is a common problem in my home. I try to plan for the full week, but that is too much. I think your 3-day plan is easier to accomplish.

Thank you. I enjoy reading and look forward to receiving your emails."
