Such a lovely kitchen Big window, with shutters, natural light, fresh air, wood table, chairs and wood cutting board...cactus on the sill help clean the indoor air. Plants are a great addition to our homes because they are so effective at removing chemicals that we can’t see or smell. Ideal situation: home should be a place we love to be, but also where it allows and encourages healthy lifestyle choices, and at the very least, where the air indoors is toxin free and healthy to breath. If you need some ideas for what are the best indoor air cleaning plants,

This is way way back when I was living in Cannes/ south of France #fbf My sister Gigi was visiting and we must have gone for dinner in a charming port like Villefranche...It breaks my heart to see us holding this poor baby cub for a tourist photo By petting cubs, we are unknowingly participating in a business that results in a lifetime of misery for these animals and has a negative impact on conservation of these majestic animals in the wild. Support the work of @bigcatrescue which cares for cats and ending the cat trade. #animalkingdom #respect

Garden News My organic vegetable garden is slowly being put to bed for the winter, one bed at a time (there are 27). Still managing to harvest tomatoes, string beans, chili peppers, basil, sage, thyme, parsley, chard, arugula and kale. I recently built a open compost area, next to the garden, using found branches and spare chicken wire to enclose it. I layered thinner branches along the outside, creating shelter or habitat for animals and insects. They also help in breaking down the compostable materials! I started the composting area with a layer of recycled (tape, ink and label free)
Eat food. Not too much. Mostly plants. And... Don’t eat anything incapable of rotting. ~Michael Pollan 5 benefits to eating a plant based diet: lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, better blood sugar, lower rates of cancer and weight loss ( especially one that is low in fat and processed sugars).

It’s that time of year, near my nook, when I’ll be gathering kindling for both the firepit and the wood burning stove. The latter will only be used when absolutely necessary: thinking about air pollution, even way out in the wilds of the Hudson Valley.

The old timers Gourds I dried last year, which in the early Spring 2018, I turned into birdhouses. I hung them up around my garden, in the trees by the field and on the side of my garage. Most of them had lodgers! They have since moved out and so these lichen and whatnot covered gourds will rest up over the winter alongside the young ones that were featured in a post yesterday. Can’t wait for next Spring! #gourds #birdhouses #birds #homes #ilovebirds #atthenook

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.
