I was soooo close to buying a Droid the other day. Verizon has been good to me. I'm not switching to ATT. So, I either wait for an iPhone w/ Verizon in June (expected new contract date), or do a Droid now. Any thoughts on the Droid? It's pretty cool. But as cool as the iPhone? IDK.

I must admit, the iPhone is pretty cool...

Eat everything with respect and use proper gratitude when harvesting. Death is simply part of the life cycle. Someday we'll all be compost.

Great advice, Christine. Thank you.

Very good point, Christine. Really enjoyed that article, and it shows plants need a little respect too... ;)

I feel an internship coming on, Erica. Want to join me?

Is the Pope Catholic?!?! Now THAT would be fun!

I haven't listened to the interview yet, but I appreciated Laura Knoy's insight when she spoke of "humans eating like predators ...and the attitude that animals are merely here for human benefit, we become incapable of feeling the higher sensitivities which truly make us human.."

Hi Kari, Actually, as much as I agree with her statement above, Laura Knoy annoys me to no end. The interview was amazing because Jonathan Safron-Foer was one of the most eloquent speakers I have ever heard on the subject of factory farming. She is really citing his sentiments, though I must admit she seemed genuinely affected by his research. It would take a very cold or completely indifferent person not to be so influenced. Thanks for visiting here, btw. Good to "see" you.

Favorite quote from his talk above: "Simple solutions will always lead to complex problems, surprising simple minds."

Berry is one of my heroes -- I'd love to have lunch with Wendell Berry, Michael Pollen and Barbara Kingsolver. Now that would be an interesting conversation!

To heck with Berry, Pollan and Kingsolver, I want to have lunch with you. Happy holidays, Erica.

p.s. i love uncle pauls idea!! :D

When will you be in France? Where are you now? xoxoxo

France in January. I'm in London right now! ^_^

Wow, just took a look through their portfolio. Very impressive. I like the way they use different materials, like cut birch stems, large pine cones, succulents and dwarf conifers.

I've always loved Winston's. They've stayed on the cutting edge of plant and floral design for over 50 years.

Ok now I'm feeling like a dork! I thought that was already set up! Is that in settings? Did a cursory look but didn't see what to adjust.

I just checked and it's always been set for fans to post anything. Hmmm. We can talk about this more on your private acct so this doesn't eat up your Indigo Gardens space! Thanks Lynn.

Of course you will. And once we get this winter solstice over, we can gain light, gaining even more optimism.

You are too sweet, Helen. Ever the optimist.

Thanks, Carol :). They sure did.
