For those of us living in North America, we are bracing ourselves for a winter blizzard on the east coast. I hear from reliable sources that it's beautiful outside this morning. 

Also, a bunch of planets are going to align over the next month and it will be fun to go outside and see them. Here's a …

Portland, Oregon is a fun place to go as a traveller. I've been visiting Portland for a long time and I always have a good time and see new things.

It's been a year since I've been here. There are new food carts serving…

I live in Florida and summertime is HOT here. Hot and balmy - you might say humid. You'd be right. But, these days early in the morning, I can tell the seasons are changing. I can feel it in the air. Autumn is coming.

Can you believe it's August? It's been a great summer. We still have nearly a whole month until the weather even shows a hint of cooling down. I went through my patch and did some serious weeding before hitting the road last month for the west coast. I predict the collards, cabbage, chives, potatoes, and mint have been culled by Eric, my kimchi making friend. At… Continue

Because on any given day, it's buzzing with people looking for good times, excellent conversation, and the whole structure works as a eco-friendly place. It's got an earthen roof, rain barrels, tents out back for the folks with lesser income, and great buffets on Sundays called Gracie's Lunch.



Every city should have a Hawthorne Hostel. Check out some other cool… Continue

Shmal mentions curbside gardens as a comment in the Community Gardens blog post. This is one I saw on the PedalPalooza Permaculture ride in Portland, OR. The idea is that even if your community garden is full, you can manage to plant some good things if you're creative.…

A new community garden is being organized in Winter Park, FL! A group cleanup occurred last weekend. Plans are in the… Continue

I've been looking for a reason to include Super Alisa in my Zoobird blog. Her writing is amazingly clever, funny and on target. This pepper dress was the ticket. Her stuff has nothing to do with organic gardening, but hey, it's peppers and we have a Pepper Zoo. WTF. Anyhoo, it's funny, worth browsing and I like… Continue

Yesterday, the travel bug bit and I drove up the panhandle coast of Florida to explore what some say are the best beaches in the world. I stopped at Mexico Beach and was struck by the Caribbean blue water, white sand and calmness of the area.

I picked up a couple of shells to admire. They were a bit different than the East coast shells of Miami shores.
