Nashville earth day



Okay so yesterday Coen and i headed (okay i dragged him against his will, he wanted to go to the lake) to Centennial Park in Nastyville to hit up the Earth Day celebration. And while i knew we couldnt stay to see my beloved Susan, I thought, this will rock. I can test out some new products, learn some more about composting and farming, get some info about safe cosmetics, and generally just get my semi-green ass groove on.
Wrong, the celebration was far from that, Nashville i was dissapointed, Lame. Here are my top 5 of the day.
1. My hoopgirls, Sunny and Yvonne. You and your bright pink hoops brighten any day.
2. The free bags (damn you Whole Foods and your elusive stand, you were out of everything when i finally found you)
3. Painting with pat, who taught me how to make awesome recycled paper....I cant wait to have THAT playdate at my house
4. The cardboard Bus bank, Coen loved it
5. The chics selling the organic cupcakes. They were awesome, some of the best i have had, organic or not, to bad i forgot your names

Snail Sunday with Nature Boy

So Coen is just like his daddy. He will stop in the middle of the street to move a caterpillar and has spent hours today collecting snails.... And just like me in the fact that he loves his worms and believes that spiders are for outside only and are just asking to be stomped on when they are in my bedroom, or shoes

In moms boots

Recycling is fun

The Pizza Mission- Post tornado

So, on Easter sunday my cousin Kim and I bought 10 pizzas and 48 bottles of water and took off into my old/her present neighborhood to pass put a warm meal and some water to the people cleaning up. It really makes you appreciate what you have.....

A year (almost) in the life of our Wiggies






Ok, so it was almost a year ago that we invited about 2500 red wigglers, or wiggies as Coen calls them, to help introduce us to Vermicomposting. Here we are a year later and we have expanded form just a rubbermaid tub to our Worm Condo, and cant wait to actually get to use all the compost we have made when we start the garden next weekend....So here are some pics of us moving the wiggs to their new condo and some first looks at our gorgeous compost....As always, ask me about the wiggs or come and have a look.
