Been doing about what I always do in summer, feeding bunnies and trying to stay cool. We had a bumper crop of garlic and onions, but I lost about 20 tomato plants in the last heat wave, so I’m starting over with that.
We got a huge crop of volunteer sunflowers this year around the compost […]
Now that summer’s in full swing, here’s something fun that will help others as well: knit or crochet a scarf for the Special Olympics 2011 Winter Games

Not only does this guy get the whole generational thing, but he’s not afraid to say what he’s thinking. (better not read […]
I detest Earth Day/Hour/etc, and so does Sharon Astyk, who expresses my thoughts on the subject much better than I could …
Just stumbled across a blog called One Straw, which is going on my reader. He’s saying stuff I’ve been saying for a while now.
