"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

It's 6:30am

It's 6:30 am, Lewis, the roo is crowing, Virgina the owl is hooting

I have been up since 3:30am...just couldn't sleep

So I got up, had my coffee (may have some more), fed and let the dogs out, continued the wash, corrected homework for 3 classes, currently listening to Jersey Girl on TV while I am blogging.

We had Friday off, so we pulled the carrots and I tilled the garden with my brand new tiller. I decided to purchase one rather than continue with renting...Now I can till in the fall and spring on my own time schedule and not dependent on my BIL's schedule. Did you know that tilling is hard? I had quite the work out and my triceps are still sore. I never knew this but I am still glad that I can till twice. I am researching a winter garden cover crop. It is between hairy vetch (real name), alfalfa and clover or just clover. I want to plant a reasonably priced seed that releases nitrogen into the soil when I till it under next spring.

Yesterday, I attended another administration class while the girls stayed over at my friend Pam and her husbands farm. They stay there about once each month and really enjoy themselves because Pam & Bob spoil them rotten...kind of like grandparents, and that's OK!

I picked them up, we had supper and watched Soul Surfer last night...good movie except the DVD was scratched in several places...ticks me off!!

This week I am taking off Wednesday to go to my Doctor's appointment in the morning and in the afternoon I am attending Ve's IEP meeting. So yes, Ve did qualify to receive help since she has certain learning disabilities...I will explain more after the meeting. This week I am also attending a conference on Friday during the day since the club that I am advising received the EarthGuard Award and then me, Tuki and Ve will be attending the awards banquet at night while Mim is having fun with her BB team at a Pasta Party. Mim's first HOOPS BB tourney is this next Saturday...I am loving her team and coaches this year..what a difference a year makes.

Next Saturday also happens to be Mim's two year home anniversary. Two years? It seems like she has always been here?!

And now the time is 7:00am and the girls are still sleeping, very unlike them, makes me think they are all worn out from a great time at the farm... :)

Tonight is trick or treating in our neck of the woods.

It is way past time to change my header, maybe today, maybe not...DONE!!
