Willow branches Over the past week, I shored up eroding areas along the river I live near, with willow cuttings that I grew indoors and planted as soon as the danger of frost was over. A free and easy way to protect fragile river banks. You can also just plant cuttings directly in the ground since they take root fairly quickly. #earthday #protectrivers #smallactions #makeadifference #hudsonvalley #thenookny #PWstudio1 @clctrust
“Marvelous! he repeated, looking up at me. Look! The beauty- but that is nothing- look at the accuracy, the harmony. And so fragile! And so strong! And so exact!

A gorgeous and gentle creature swims along a saltwater canal in Miami/Florida. Great shot taken by @nestnotes To witness animals in their natural habitat is a gift Did you know that the manatee’s closest relative is an elephant...and did you know that loss of habitat is the most serious threat facing the manatees.

Keeping it Wild ~in my garden~ What would the world be, once bereft Of wet and of wildness?

Lots of native milkweed for the monarch butterflies to feast on and all sorts of poppies, pink flowers from Tenants Harbor/ME, cosmos, bee-balm, calendula, Mexican hat, rudbeckia galore and red zinnias, and @hudsonvalleyseedco good bug blooms too, and wildflowers are most welcome to mix in.

Welcome to the Almanac Newsletter, an e-quarterly in which each issue celebrates innovations in Sustainable and Innovative Designs, Game-Changers who are creating and inspiring positive change, Eco Films that entertain and enlighten, Artists and Authors who are inspired by nature, Plant Based Recipes, a monthly Organic Gardening Calendar, as well as empowering readers to become informed consumers, by turning their purchasing power into a powerful tool for change. Attention is given as well to a Group or Organization that endeavors to arrest, contain, or reverse environmental damage and preserve our natural world for future generations.
As the public becomes increasingly aware of global warming and the unhealthy repercussions of heedless consumption of environmentally harmful products, people are more and more choosing to commit to greener, healthier lifestyles. We are all learning how to make conscious choices that reduce our use of natural resources and ideally serve to protect and sustain them.
Welcome also to my book titled LOLA, Lots of Love Always, which is aimed at young women but is a good read for everyone. It shows how to live a sustainable lifestyle and make healthy choices that are good for you and the planet at large. You are welcome to read the LOLA Blog, which has been archived on my site.
