erf day

About half way on my 30 trees... I need more hours in the day. I have planted several dogwoods for Dawn at the arboretum. One tree for Stevo (banana magnolia) and have a few other trees poised and ready for the ground. I love me some trees.

I plan on planting a few at the house today to celebrate.
happy earth day!

the root of it.

I have been whirling this month's idea over in my head and have come up with some pretty simple, but fun, guidelines. First, I want to talk about how I have failed to implement previous month's activities into my daily life. Veganism, which was hard, made me feel better; mediation, which I enjoy, was replaced by running - which is meditation while moving; and now, I fear running may fall to the wayside. The strenuous nature of lugging around 240 lbs everyday made it impossible to focus on much else and took a pretty good toll on my feet and legs, nevertheless, I will do my best to retain the run and try to implement meditation as well as cutting back my meat intake. I just finished the book "Born To Run" and it is an eye opener. Apparently, we were born to run.
This month, I anticipate planting and documenting at least 30 trees -  some at my house, some at friends houses and maybe a few guerrilla plantings. Along with trees, I would like to implement a few things around my house to save on energy and water consumption. Maybe even a nice little earth day party to bring it all together. There you have it - a leisure, tree-planting month... if you would like me to plant a tree for you, let me know.
