Hey ya'll. I know what you're thinking:
"Welcome back ... took ya' long enough! I even stopped reading for a while! Who do you think your readers are? You think we sit by the PC all day, refreshing our browser in hopes you'd come crawling back?"
Maybe you're not thinking that, but I'm certainly feeling it. I've been at my new job for over 7 months now. What a change from the writing gig. I've been overwhelmed with work, home and family life, lots of bits of life to juggle- but spring is around the bend and with that comes gardening (Mark's and my not-so-new, but certainly dear, love).
More details will come as the seedlings start to take off. We started several last weekend and this weekend calls for more. Eventually we'll have a staggered lot of motley looking greens, begging for full sun and the wind in there ...erm ... hair.
My friend Peter Noonan (incredible artist and fairly funny guy ;-)) thought of me recently and suggested I share this link with you:
How Much Water Do You Really Use???
And in this spirit of really knowing what the hell it is we're doing, I'd like to include this link as well:
Terrapass Shall Set You Free!
It's all about knowing our impact, isn't it? I'd like to think that the age of greed, consumerism, waste and haste is on it's way to remaining behind us (but then again, who knows?). I see a more conscientious human dynamic growing around me. Mark and I got to a fair amount of Farm and Forest Expos, NHOFA gatherings and pretty much everything with the mark of green creation on it. The numbers are increasing, people's interests are peaking.
Even the Obamas are on the bandwagon- God bless them.
And we can go even deeper than that. We can go beyond just planting a garden and we can cultivate endagered (sometimes even ancient) heirloom animals and vegetables. There is so much we can do and I'm so happy to be sharing my journey with you.
Love,
Say
