"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

Wild Weekend

Thursday morning my 1st and 2nd hour went on a field trip to McDill Pond..in sub 30 degree weather. WE WERE COLD, Thursday night I chaperoned a trip to Saw-whet Owl banding. Twenty-four people from school attended and in the time we were there the banding station caught and banded 10 saw-whets and 1 long-eared owl. It was a big night!!

 Tuki with a saw-whet owl...yes full grown
Tuki looking at a long-eared owl
 Tuki again...her class is studying owls so we took these and then sent them to her teacher....she was able to talk all about owls...she loved it

Then Friday night me and the wee ones chaperoned the Halloween dance at my school.

Today we attended the Sectional CC meet, we were able to watch the meet and helped work the t-shirt stand Both boys and girls teams made it to state..

Tomorrow, we are ushering at church in the am and then trick - or- treating is in the evening 4 - 7 pm....

NONSTOP GOING........

I have been tired, cold and stiff from all this activity in the outdoors and into the evening.....so before I started blogging tonight I tried one glass of my homemade plum wine..and I am a little blitzed.....

plus now I am wrapped in my robe I received from my lovely daughters two years ago watching Ghost Buster (love this movie) and feeling TOTALING RELAXED..except for Zamboni's barking in an attempt to get something going with someone...thank goodness he is getting neutered this Wednesday..the boy has been pushing his luck with all of us lately.

I am feeling so relaxed that I think I am going to try some of my homemade pear wine...don't worry I am only slightly relaxed and blitzed, but I must admit it feels good to let go now and then.....
