Gardening Bust


Sustainability and gardening at altitude was a bust this summer. Unfortunately the economy hit the landlord and the house that we were renting. It was foreclosed on and best laid plans for a garden did not come to fruition. Besides, I left the tomatoes outside overnight in late June and the leaves turned into brown shoots by the next morning. I was heartbroken but resigned myself that this was not going to be the summer for a garden.

Spent all of July and August cleaning and moving to a place called Wildbird. The elevation of the house is appx. 9,000’ and it’s a little slice of heaven. I feel as if I’m in a cocoon not just physically but mentally and spiritually as well. Not sure what’s gestating within but it feels like a shift of some sort.

Volunteering and Seedlings


Big week, volunteered for my first day at the Resource Efficiency in Nirvana. Working on community composting, greenhouse and expanding the existing garden. Lots of information to disseminate in order to get some funding for these projects.

Started my indoor seed planting. Hopefully it'll work even though Kitty sat in the trays. Ugh, what to do with a naughty Kitty. Kitty by the way has dreads these days. Interesting, won't let us brush him or cut them out.
