"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
I started allowing the chickens to free range (forage) within the dog enclosure. When the dogs are in the enclosure, the chickens are penned and then vice versa. Free ranging on grass and bugs increases the omegas contained within their eggs, plus it is also what makes the yolks dark orange and solid instead of the light runny yellow yolk found in chicken factory produced eggs. Of course, the chickens just love being out there. The six little chicks will join the older ones once they are older and bigger.

I may have to pick your brain about the chicken thing. I have been giving it some serious thought, and I have not seen the foxes all summer....hmnnn...
