Have a Lovely Green Weekend

Another weekend is finally upon us, isn’t that fantastic? How was your week? Did you get your taxes in on time? Aren’t you glad that is finally over? What are your weekend plans? Tonight, we are having ‘Make Your Own Taco Salad Night’, with homemade taco salad shells. Then, we are off to the theatre to see ‘Samite’, a world-renowned Ugandan musician and photographer.

The rest of the weekend is kind of up in the air, we don’t have any official plans? Isn’t that nice? Maybe we will work in our garden and yard? Go for another impromptu hike? A lazy day reading in our hammock? An afternoon of golf? Really, I love weekends like this, because you never know what we will find to do.

How about you lovely readers, what are your weekend plans?

$1 for Organic Farming, If You Pledge to Be Greener at Cascadian Farm

If you haven’t already, jump on over to Cascadian Farm and pledge to be greener. For every person who pledges, Cascadian Farm will donate $1 to the Organic Farming Research Foundation. What one thing can you do to be greener? Will you reuse your old clothes? Will you start planning your meals? Will you seal your ducts or slow the flow of your toilets? Whatever it is that you choose to do, you can help a lot. Cascadian Farm has a goal of 40,000 pledges. Will one of them be you?

Eco Wedding with Sustainable Centerpieces and Terrariums

I love the idea of using locally grown flowers, succulents and bromeliads as centerpieces for a wedding. This wedding was designed by Tend Living for a green loving couple. Now, I can’t think of a lovelier way to start a lifetime together. I would definitely say, “I do”. You?

How about you lovely readers, did you or will you have sustainable centerpieces at your wedding?
