"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
We ordered a bushel of peaches. Do you know how many peaches are in a bushel, no me either, but there is a whole lot. So after they were dropped off, we made 13 pints of peach jam, 6 peach freezer pie fillings, 5 loaves of Spicy, carrot/peach pecan bread, gave a dozen to two of our nearest neighbors and 1/2 dozen to my sister and we still have a huge bowl full for eating.
the peaches left over, we received two boxes full like the one in the photo
the kettle of cooking peach jam
The pie filling ready to go to the freezer, Once they are frozen, I will take them out and place them into a zip-lock freezer bag. The filling will be in the shape of a pie tin, so all I have to do is place it into pie crust, bake it and whoa-la, we have pie when we want.
4 loaves of bread
the jam after cooking and canned
