"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

Week 8 of summer

I spent this week in Colorado at a STEM conference, here is an example of mining a side of a mountain near Idaho Springs, CO
It was very rainy, foggy and my ziplining experience was canceled because of the poor weather
a photo of Georgetown, CO, 1 hour away from Vail, CO
Grandma stayed with the girls and hung some of the girl's art work that I left for her


the river of pumpkins...good thing they aren't in the garden this year. I also canned 12 1/2 quarts of yellow beans and 3 1/2 quarts of pickled summer squash.
