"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

Around the yard today

Myrtle and Inez


Some of the flock foraging in the raked leaves


Bantam chickens Old English Game and Black tailed Japanese and Buff Brahma



Pollyanna our rehabilitated squirrel newly released a few days ago...this is called "hacking" a slow release. Food is left out for weeks and weeks at the hack cage. The newly released animal ventures far and wide but comes back to its home site. Polly is doing just that too. The girls are loving watching her come and go morning and night.



Her food is in the bowl. This photo was taken this evening.




Mabel the opossum was discovered today among the hay in the garage...she was released last week and so her home base is the garage...


Plus the frogs are singing and the Eastern Phoebes have been back since a few days ago....Spring is OFFICIALLY here!!! If you hadn't heard temps have been in the 70's ALL SPRING BREAK!!! and only 10 weeks left of school once we return on Monday.
