"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

Spring Anticipation


My gourd selection this year


Nipped them with a nail cutter, added water.


Then heat, and now watch and wait for the sprouting of the root tip. Then I will place them in well protected planters


In 2 weeks, this is the location, my plant stand in the basement, I will start all my outdoor vegetable plants. I like to know that I grow my own from seed. I start all but onion sets. I can't seem to get much from onion seeds.
































Inside view. Sorry it is blurry and now cluttered, but it will be cleaned, fine tuned and up and running for the new baby seeds, and eventually plants..I am so excited.



OH and my final selection of chickens. We ordered them Frday and the little chicks will be arriving May 4th or 5th.

So exciting! You have a great set up there. I have only planted some herb seeds so far. I never seem to do well with seeds. I guess I need a more formal set up to be sure they get enough light.
