    Eating fresh and foraged greens from around the yard is hard to beat.  Taking the link bus and having time to read and take in the beauty of the valley and canyons and river between Wenatchee and Chelan, also hard to beat:)

    Not all that warm or dry, but the wind is taking care of today's laundry:)  A couple good resources for great ideas to live more in balance with our mother earth are Permies.com and richsoil.com , both permaculture and appropriate technology sites in association with Paul Weaton.  Lots of love to all you family working for change!

    Meatless whole food meals, check.  Almost time for some cold water laundry.  Should have done it sooner to have that crazy wind dry it out;P
