"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

Blueberry Day

Today was a blueberry day. Our two 10lb boxes of blueberries arrived on Thursday, so we ate a lot fresh (still some left in the refrigerator), and the rest I made 6 pints of blueberry jam, 5 blueberry pie fillings frozen, 4 blueberry bread loaves. I also baked 4 round pans of chocolate summer squash cake and a summer squash casserole since the summer squash is ripening fast.

While Kiki and the girls were playing BB, I took some photos of our garden.

the solar lights we placed outside in the garden to help deter the deer

tonight Kiki played a mean game of basketball with the girls after we ate a hearty supper
3 against 1
Mim playing keep away
attempting to block
look at the joy on the faces of Ve and Tuki
all out defense
