Hello all!
My name is Katie and this is all completely new to me! I'm hoping to find articles I'm comfortable editing so I can start to get some experience. I joined Wikipedia because of all the times I've been able to educate myself, contribute to projects and conversations using information from Wikipedia, and most importantly the importance of a place like Wikipedia in the world today. I firmly believe anyone who wishes to learn should not have to struggle and bend over backwards to learn- the knowledge we as humans discover should be accessible to all in my opinion. My family has always lived with the motto "A day without learning is a day wasted" and I'm hoping to help others make the most of each day by maintaining or updating articles people may learn from. Please feel free to reach out - I always love to talk lol!

Today I learned I share a birthday with Google
I thought Google did a birthday doodle for everyone that's logged into their google account and I'm sure they probably do. However today one of my co workers who calls me Google told me that it was meant to be since I share a birthday with them and told me to check out the doodle as proof. Obviously that sent me on a rabbit hole of past google celebrations and doodles. I thought I'd share since I kind of plan on updating my page with something I learned or taught someone and this seemed like a good place to start! Whitesboots (talk) 15:53, 27 September 2019 (UTC)

This weekend I learned that Texas' lavender growing season is May through July
There are also several festivals where lavender farms will come together to give seminars and sell their products. Many farms also offer classes and self harvesting (if the harvest yield permits) during the growing season and then sell their products all year. In one small town near me they host their festival in the town's historical court house! They even advertise that's its air conditioned. This weekend my boyfriend planned a small trip to said small town and we actually stumbled upon one of these farms by accident. We may have missed the harvest season this year but we're already making plans to attend next years! I am already so excited to learn about growing and cooking with lavender.
