Every Day is Earth Day!

Every day is Earth Day we Humans just don't know it. This Rose was a gift to me from the Earth. Thank you Mother Earth.

I have been following the principles set forth by The Perelandra group. It is very different and I find it does work. It is called the Co Creative Process. You work with Nature in Partnership. Check it out.

A week of food

Happy people eat this in one week. Look Ma no packaging.
Got this lovely image from a blog I like :

This picture is showing the food this family consumes in one week. Look at the lack of plastic, paper waste. It looks like every bit is recyclable.

Look at how many banana's they consume! What a terrific and healthy diet this is. Even though I try, I still have so much stuff that comes in packages. If I try and buy organic food from my local grocery it usually comes packaged in individual units swathed in plastic. If the plastic does not have a number on it it cant be recycled.
And we think we are so lucky to live here in America with all the food we have. I think we stuff our faces with far too much food. All the fast food is so cheap that we can eat all we want any time. We have no self controll, just instant gratification. And instant heart attacks and cancer.

Get some Flowers

Today I bought some flowers. I was going to buy a small houseplant but did not find any that looked as if they would last through the winter. I got these Mums instead. The smell of mums is rather odd. It is not a sweet flower smell. What is this weird smell? Sorta grounded and earthy but also astringent. It is a smell I crave.

This book I have on houseplants, reports on the effects plants have on improving the indoor air quality. Mums are high on the list of air cleansing plants.

I am sleeping with my Mums tonight.

Good Night Sweet Mums.
