Dearies,
Please take a minute to listen to this link below. It excited me very muchas to hear my friend Jo on npr--and maybe it will thrill you as well!
Background info for folks who don't know: My bestest pal, Jade started an urban educational farm over a year ago (right about when I moved) with our pal, Johanna. The farm is located on a city block at 49th & Brown Streets in West Philadelphia (what a glorious city!). They grow rows upon rows of wonderful foods & beneficial plants to: educate youth and to sell fresh local seasonal produce to anyone near by, and because they love farming of course! Also located within the same gorgeous cyclone fence is a community garden that has been there for a very long time. So there is a lot of activity during the season--all ages & all types of wierdos hanging about working on weeding, tilling, building, harvesting & even creating amazing works of art with kids like mosaic. I got to help out for a few hours one day building their cobb toolshed/bathroom/utility building. What an amazing way to build natural yet strong structures. I cannot wait to get to work on more cobbing one day!
I also have added some links to my blog-page of sites that I use regularly. Maybe they will be of interest to you too!
peace, 6 days till take off to sweden!!

the first lala update
blustery winter greetings of warmth,
even though I enjoy other folks blogs I never thought I would set one up for myself. With an upcoming trip abroad looming in my mind I am taking little moments to prepare various traveling aspects ahead of time. I think this just may be a cool way to stay in touch with friends & families. I can only imagine how exciting this will be to write to all of my friends at once & they can check in on their own time! my mind is full of cool reasons to start this up...
Plus sometimes I lack human-contact and perhaps this will help stay in touch with friends & family who I do not live near to. I miss you all & am sorry that moving away often creates chasms in relationships, but I love where I live! Come visit Lillian's Farm. It is an exciting place year-round but expecially enjoyable during the gardening season.
all my best,
lala
