"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
Fourteen quarts of salsa today..I will post a picture soon, but I made 3 batches all at once...good to go on the salsa front. We also counted our yellow beans and we ended up canning 16 quarts of them here and there, so I feel a good number for us and add that to the green beans and we will have a ton for over winter.
I will have to post pictures soon of our ENORMOUS pumpkins and our gazillion egg gourds...a bountiful year for some vegetables and not so much for others.
We have had enough cucumbers on a every other day pick that we have given many picks away so that has been good as well...
