"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
DaVinci waiting for me while I was outside taking pictures of the garden
Zamboni checking out how mush he can get away with Beatrice...he is finding out not too far
His right ear is starting to prick, eventually both ears will be standing
he looks so much bigger already
our freshly planted garden, it took us 3 hours to plant and 1 hour to finish tilling, we planted the same as last year, except no corn since the raccoons always get it before us and no spaghetti squash since we really didn't like it much. We had extra room this year so we planted extra large sunflowers to give to the chickens in the fall. We also planted 8 rows of 6 different varieties of tomatoes, and 5 rows of 4 different types of pepper. We also planted beets for the first time...
another angle
notice the 3 bird houses around the garden, the house wren has started using one already this year
4 days of school left for the girls and 4 more left for me...
