"Where flowers bloom, so does hope. - Lady Bird Johnson" - from my last year's January calendar.
Mm, nice phrase.
...
I didn't know who the Lady Bird Johnson is, just before writing these sentences (I even didn't know what the ladybird is), but when I was about to write like 'Though I don't know who the Lady Bird Johnson is...', I thought that "I, at least, would better to search some information about this person."
Then, after I put the name on Google, I got some knowledge about her.
She seems to be one of the greatest women in the U.S.
To write this post, I searched, and now I have new knowledge about a great woman.
I like this way of knowing.

It is interesting finding out things through searching through Google. I recently got a cd that has songs by a singer called Idir (they are not terribly recent). He is from Iran, but lives in France. I heard one song on a blogsite and was so enchanted by it, though I couldn't understand any of the words, that I asked the blogger what it was. Anyway, finding out about Idir led me to finding out more about Iran, and about things in history I never knew.
Here in the US not everyone thought Lady Bird was a great woman when her husband was president. Partly it was because many had loved John Kennedy and his very elegant wife Jacqueline, and we were very sad when Kennedy was killed. Lady Bird was a lot more down to earth, and some people made fun of her. But even then I did love her project to plant wildflowers in lots and lots of places.
