Little did I know that my wish for a new Entiat Garden Club would come true so soon after writing about Rainbow Garden! The 2nd meeting of the new Entiat Garden Group is happening at the Entiat LIbrary Meeting Room on Saturday, April 13th from 10 - noon. It's so good to share and listen to other gardeners' sage and seasoned advice. Our own garden is getting a little extra attention this year from neighbor kids. Their ambitious digging, planting, watering and weeding is another garden wish come true.
On Wednesday, April 17, there will be a general spring ECHS Board and interested members' meeting at the Entiat Museum. From 10:00 AM - Noon. Topics discussed will include building updates. summer programming and sign-ups for hosting Summer Saturdays at the Museum. Following the morning meeting, we will adjourn for a light lunch. In the afternoon from 1:00 - 3:00, some light cleaning and arranging work will commence and plans will be made to prepare for the summer season. Please join us for either one or both sessions. Bring a chair in hopes of good weather to sit in the fresh air.
We surely live in an era replete with change and growth. The museum generates interest in the past and encourages good choices for our collective future. Awareness of current technology and use of it to the best interest of all is an opportunity. The most current feature of technology that fascinates me is AI. I like to ask AI interesting questions. I hope you will enjoy the following conversation I had with Microsoft's AI.

What is a good analogy to compare gardening to caring for a museum
AI:
Gardening and caring for a museum share a common theme of cultivation and preservation. Here’s an analogy:
In gardening, one must tend to individual plants, ensuring they receive the right amount of sunlight, water, and nutrients to thrive. Similarly, a museum curator must care for each artifact, providing the proper environment to preserve history. Both require patience, knowledge, and a delicate touch to maintain the balance between nurturing growth and preserving the past. Just as a gardener prunes and weeds to promote a healthy garden, a curator selects and arranges exhibits to educate and inspire visitors. Both activities involve a deep understanding of the subjects at hand and a commitment to fostering appreciation and understanding in others.
Summary: Both gardening and museum curation are arts of careful stewardship and thoughtful presentation, aiming to enrich and enlighten their respective audiences.
AI did a great job with the analogy!
