Have a Lovely Green Weekend

November 20, 2009 4

Hello, Friends! How was your week? Are you excited for the weekend? The mister and I are looking forward to the two bottles of biodynamic and organic wines to taste test for Thanksgiving Dinner. Saturday, most of the day will be spent preparing our home for Thanksgiving. Can you believe I will have eleven people in my home for five days? Isn’t that fabulous? and crazy?

On Sunday, I want to plant the lovely tree shaped rosemary plants that Eben and I found at Whole Foods this week. I have large bright red pots to put them in, won’t they look great on the mantle? I also want to start wrapping my holiday gifts since Hanukkah starts on December 11th, can you believe how early it starts this year? I need to get it into gear! Then I want to relax, yes I need to relax and bake cupcakes and snuggle with my Eben.

What are your lovely green weekend plans?

Is your guy really a Superhero in disguise? If so, he would love these upcycled Superhero Bottle Cap Magnets from WhatsEatingYin.

Does your guy love to ride his bike? Why not stuff his sock with a Medium Bike Burrito from Bike Burrito. A Bike Burrito is a funky twist on the classic bike tool kit. It is designed to carry all of his essentials in style. This would be perfect for Mr. Sweet Greens, he loves to ride his bike to work.

Turn off your lights for change tonight at 8:30-9:30 p.m.!

This year Earth Hour has been transformed into the worlds first global election.You can either vote for the Earth or for global warming. It is your choice.

The results of this worldwide election will be presented to World Leaders at The Global Climate Change Conference in Copenhagen 2009. This meeting will determine official government policies to take action against global warming.

This your chance to make your voice heard. Flip off the lights from 8:30-9:30 local time.

What will you be doing while the lights are off?

Me? I am going to use the time to think of other ways that I can help the Earth. Personally, I don’t think one hour is enough. I think that there are many important changes that need to be made in order to save the planet.

Enjoy your Earth Hour!

Eben and the Koi.

November 19, 2009 7

There is a Koi pond at the nature center where Eben takes all of his gardening classes, but the children are no longer allowed to get in with the fish. Understandably so. Whever we are in Florida, Eben anxiously awaits our trip to Louis and Linda’s house. One of the reasons is because Louis and Linda have an enorous Koi pond in their yard. The best part is that Eben can get in it and swim with the Koi. The Koi do not seem bothered by this at all, they are very social. These lovely Koi look just like the one’s in Louis’ lovely paintings.

Would you swim with Koi?
What do you think?

Enjoy.
