    I hope my garden is doing okay while I am gone this week.   I am doing lots of walking with my sisters here on the Oregon coast.

    I picked up litter on the beach this morning.  Most of it was paper and plastic.  The Lewis and Clark National Historic Park had a simple and effective display about items found on the beach and how long it takes them to break down .  Some of them will never break down (styrofoam).
