Whoops

Life has been getting in the way of blogging, folks, so... apologies.

However, I couldn't miss earth day. An ecological bent has led me to some of the most valuable experiences in my life. It all started when I was at university and a friend's father and mother introduced me to Rachel Carson's 'Silent Spring'. So my awareness gradually grew, and right now, I'm sending that couple a quick prayer of thanks.

Of course, pollution wasn't so much of a problem in those days. Plastic wasn't ubiquitous, and the amount of food additives was far less. Still, when I travelled to London, England in the early '60's I could hardly wait to swing by the organic store in Baker Street and see what was on offer. Ahem. I found small, wizened apples and not much to delight. How very much more fortunate we are today when even our local supermarket carries organic produce... fresh as well as dry goods.

Better yet, the bio-dynamic method of farming is spreading and becoming more and more well-known. This summer we have a new farmer nearby and will be able to join his Community Supported Agriculture program. Yay!

Plus, the days are warm enough for me to start hanging laundry out on the line. And to ride my bicycle.

Nothing earth-shattering, but every little bit helps.
