I was absolutely amazed when I watched this Green Tube cast about the Penn State recycling program. I knew we did a great job of it, but seeing this took my appreciation and awe to a whole new level. Go PSU!

Full Up
It's always dangerous to launch into a blog post when you're not sure where it's going to end up, but it's been far too long, so here goes...
This past summer in my work life was one of the busiest I've ever had - I keep mentally swearing never to repeat such ridiculousness in the future, so remind me of this about the time April rolls around, ok? On the other hand, the home front was was busy too - but in a different way!
Last April, I talked about emergence from the liminal spaces life throws us into every now and again. I predicted that our garden would provide us with the kind of hope and inspiration needed to pull us out into the light again. Well, I'm not sure if it pulled us out, but it certainly kept us so busy that we forgot to worry so much and were definitely able to move forward into new phases of life.
Now it's October. The garden has been done producing for a good month, and we dug it out last week. But I am happy to say that, literally, the cupboard is not bare.
Not only did we enjoy fresh produce all summer, we canned peppers and tomato sauce, chili sauce, and relish, mushrooms, squash, and apples - sauce and butter.
Needless to say, we will definitely be doing this again next summer! And rumor has it the garden will be ever bigger!
