Happy Earth Day!
Happy Earth Day!
Today is the 38th annual celebration of the planet we call home, and a day to step back and think about things we can do to preserve and restore our natural resources…
So that’s the official line on Earth Day, but I want to know: what do YOU think about Earth Day?
Is it a time to reflect on accomplishments?
A time to call for more action?
Or something in-between?
Send a post, let us know, then go outside and do something good for the planet.

I have tomatoes!
OK, those of you with a few years or more of gardening under your belt can laugh, but I’m thrilled by the handful of green marbles swelling on the stems of my cherry tomato plants. To add to the happiness, my little Swiss Chard plants have taken off in the summer weather, shooting up like weeds despite repeated attacks by aphids.
I’m simple - it’s the little things that make me happy.
In all seriousness, there is truly a sense of pride I get seeing that, at least to a tiny degree, I’m capable of producing a portion of my own sustenance. I’m already thinking about next year, about what else I can get from my porch garden, rather than the grocery store shelves. I like this feeling - it’s empowering.
