"Let every individual and institution now think and act as a responsible trustee of Earth, seeking choices in ecology, economics and ethics that will provide a sustainable future, eliminate pollution, poverty and violence, awaken the wonder of life and foster peaceful progress in the human adventure."
- John McConnell, founder of International Earth Day
RIGHT NOW, and then again tomorrow and then again the next day and on it goes day after day,
1/2 OF THE WORLD lives on LESS THAN 2 DOLLARS each day.
Psalm 27:4
One thing I ask of the LORD, this is what I seek: that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD and to seek him in his temple.
Do all you can and don't worry about the odds against you. Wield the miracle of life's energy, never worrying whether we fail, concerned only that whether we fail or succeed we do so with all our might. That's all we need to know to feel certain that all our force of diligent effort is worth our while on Earth.
Carl Safina, Voyage of the Turtle
and Phil saw his shadow, so six more weeks of winter, which puts us almost 1 week away from March 21st, the official first day of Spring.
Today was sooo much colder than yesterday. That is a downer.
I was almost giddy all day yesterday and I had to keep talking myself down by injecting reality into my mind by reminding my giddy up and go brain that we had many days of winter left.
BUT then I saw these
while checking out chicken supplies at Fleet Farm, and my heart started going all pitter patter, my step became lighter all the while I was dreaming of my 60'x 8' garden that I am planning to grow this summer.....I love dreaming of summer, gardening, and now our baby chicks....
So to Phil, I say "Get back in your D*** hole and keep your mouth shut, and then your shadow won't be an issue"

I am also planning a veggie garden this year. It will be my first one in 14 years, and I am in a different region, different zone. But I am excited about it!
Fleet Farm ROCKS!!!
I've been drooling over my seed catalogues for the past two months. And the Mister suggested a road trip to Seattle right in the midst of Prime Planting Season. Is he on crack or what?!?
