Sunset over the water, complete with wooden pier. I love it!
These days I find myself thinking about the ecosystem birds and other tree loving creatures live in, above the earth, looking down from treetops.
Beautiful! I can practically feel the warmth, smell the salt air in the balmy breeze...I imagine walking barefoot in the sand to the local seafood shack and having a cold drink...pelicans cawing in the air on a wooden pier.
Like a Rorschach in the sky...I see dancing pigs, like the Bubbaloo's logo:

Organics in Cochabamba, Bolivia
Cochabamba is a beautiful city, Bolivia´s 4th largest, and towers at 2500 meters or about 8,000 feet above sea level. We are here to enjoy the wedding of my friend Lamine from Senegal and Maria, who was born here.
Before arriving here, we spent a little time in La Paz, which is at 14,000 feet elevation. A friend wrote and asked how is it to feel 80 years old all of a sudden due to the ALTIT… Continue

Keep Your Thoughts
However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names. Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Thi… Continue

Jalapeño Days at the McRorie Community Garden
There's something about hot peppers, especially jalapeños, that just makes me feel great. It all goes back to my days growing up in the Southwest. Peppers are such a part of the culture in Mexico, Texas, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Colorado (to name just a few places) that its impossible to ignore th… Continue

- Hi Mike! Thank you for all your comments! The painting with the hand and the fish has the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background and a snake crawling through the mountains and up my arm. I hope you have a beautiful holiday weekend!

Carol Ann Brooks said… - Right now, I don't have a garden, but I live in an apartment building for seniors (I can't believe I'm old enough. Where did the time go?) and the management has promised to dig up a sunny spot for us to have an organic garden. There are quite a few residents here who like to dig in the dirt and grow our own veggies. So, I can't wait. It will be nice not to have to travel to the garden. But I do miss the nice people at McRorie. If you know anyone who wants garden signs, let me know.

- Hi, Michael,
I gave up my plot at McCrorie because I couldn't seem to get over there and it was so hot, I always seemed to be out of town and I thought someone else could benefit more. In case you don't remember me, I'm the lady who made the signs. How's it going over there?

- Thank you, Mike. I live in AZ. I teach middle school and we are working on a school yard garden. We are hoping to donate our produce to the community food bank. I am new to gardening, and especially new to organic gardening, so I am really trying to educate myself so I can pass that along to my students. Thanks for the welcome! :)

Then I saw Kate's Fish Camp links on all the pages and was blown away. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you.
And you joined Friends of Newnan's lake too.
Anytime you are out our way stop by and Mike (my husband) and I will take you and yours for a boat ride on this beautiful lake, or maybe a jet ski ride :)
We have Fun! Anyway, I like what you are doing!
Positively,

Hanshan (Chinese: 寒山; pinyin: Hánshān; literally "Cold Mountain", fl. 9th century) was a legendary figure associated with a collection of poems from the Chinese Tang Dynasty in the Taoist and Chan tradition. He is honored as an incarnation of the Bodhisattva -figure Manjusri in Zen lore.The Book of Tea by Kakuzo Okakura
Tea began as a medicine and grew into a beverage. In China, in the eighth century, it entered the realm of poetry as one of the polite amusements. The fifteenth century saw Japan ennoble it into a religion of aestheticism--Teaism. Teaism is a cult founded on the adoration of the beautiful among the sordid facts of everyday existence. It inculcates purity and harmony, the mystery of mutual charity, the romanticism of the social order. It is essentially a worship of the Imperfect, as it is a tender attempt to accomplish something possible in this impossible thing we know as life.Hacked E-Mail Is New Fodder for Climate Dispute
Hundreds of private e-mail messages and documents hacked from a computer server at a British university are causing a stir among global warming skeptics, who say they show that climate scientists conspired to overstate the case for a human influence on climate change.Blue Zones
