Wonderful day outside!!

I was looking for an alternative for weed killer. I found this recipe of all natural ingredients.

In celebration of Earth Day, I planted a Shumard Oak tree. I got the tree free from the Electric Company. They give away free trees every year for Earth Day. This year, they also had a community event in one of the nature parks. People participated in cleaning up the trails, and enjoyed some games, face painting, and activities.

Things we...

Watched The Pollinators - Biggest learning for me is that we need change in way farming is done to save our pollinators, because without pollinators we lose our food change. Climate is shifting because of how we produce our food (chemicals causing pollution). we need simplified farming, creating healthy soil, reducing chemical usage. Done right...

Enjoyed a beautiful day

Earth Day cleanup at Chet Hobert Patk in Berryville, VA! Actually kind of relaxing, refreshing, to just stare at nature and not at your phone for a whole hour.
