While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
A family of North American Indians, comprising two large divisions, one living
in the British Possessions, between Hudson's Bay and the Pacific, and the other
along the southern boundary of the United States, in Arizona, New Mexico, and
Texas, with some smaller bands along the western coast, north of Oregon.
The name of the family is derived from Lake Athabasca, a Cree word, meaning
"cords of hay." They are supposed by many to be of Tartar descent, and their
language has been found to be somewhat analogous to that of Thibet. Their
traditions point to an emigration from the West, over a series of islands, and
amid much snow and ice. The southern branch includes the nomadic Apaches, the
industrious Navajos, and a small remnant of Lipan in Texas, numbering, in all,
over 20,000.
