"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

Mim's birthday party and weekend

I didn't take pictures this year? But we did have a wonderful birthday party for Mim at home in the garage in
the pouring rain(at times). Hope everyone had a wonderful Memorial weekend. While doing yard work and preparing for the party, we discovered a fox snake, so I caught it and had the girls touch it, plus Mim found an adult blue spotted salamander and we are co-rearing rearing two nestling house finch. We had them this weekend, but now my friends have them for the week (they need to be fed hourly during the daylight hours).  We will get them back next weekend. Did you know that a day in life of a songbird is the same as the growth and development of a human child within a year.Isn't that amazing??? Their nest was destroyed and a fellow teacher brought them to school last Friday and we have been taking care of them since.
