Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms, grandmothers, and stepmoms! And I guess we should include Mother Earth too, without Mother Earth, none of us would be here. I wish you all a great day, peace, harmony, and love.
I had a really nice Mother's Day doing what I like best with the people I like best :) I got out in the veggie garden, and with the help of Rosebud, Tiger Lily, Sweet Pea, and Rhody, got the veggies in! Today we did a little weeding, rock picking, and added to the lettuce, onions, carrots, broccoli, and snap peas that are already growing. We planted 12 Tomatoes, 6 eggplant, 6 hot peppers (for Hubby), 6 green peppers, 6 zucchini, 3 yellow squash. Rosebud also planted a bunch of cucumber and green bean seeds for me. Can't wait for the yummy food to come.
We also created a huge new bed of perennials that should liven things up as you drive into our driveway. Rhody helped me dig out a bunch of weeds and prepare the bed with Hubby. Rhody and I recycled some newspaper by laying it down to help kill the weeds underneath, then Hubby added some topsoil on top of the newspaper. Sweet Pea brought me a much needed drink, and I planted the perennials. Helpful, strong Hubby brought a bunch of wheel barrels full of mulch to finish it all off. Rosebud helped give the all the plants a nice long drink. It looks really nice, and I got to spend my Mother's Day with my helpers and digging in the dirt, enjoying Mother Earth, and beautifying our yard. I'm looking forward to watching them all bloom :)
”A la Carte Green” is about making green choices on a daily basis, in a manner that works for you. It's about trying and choosing greener options "a la carte" because there is no one size fits all solution. Not everyone can walk to work or have solar panels, but we can choose to bring waste-free lunches, or to dry our clothes in the sunshine. You get the picture. Small “A la Carte Green” choices made by each person will have positive impacts. Which green options will you choose?
