Everyone is talking about the weather.
It doesn’t matter where you live — it’s snowing or icing, and the temps are dangerously low. Everyone is being told to stay indoors.
It’s for our own protection.
Yet in the midst of all this cold, a few bulbs can flourish in just a few inches of water.
In three days, I have watched them go from simple green stems to three visible blooms (and a hint of more to come).
Makes me believe that spring is more than just a groundhog’s shadowy promise.
It’s hard to admit, but not all eggs are sticky.
In fact, some of the first ones I encountered as a child were green. And I got to see them up close and up sized today at Universal Studios.
If you didn’t get the reference, it’s from Dr. Seuss’ amazing Green Eggs and Ham.
Even if you did get the reference, it might be surprising to discover that it is a food stand.

Did you put a zucchini on your neighbor’s porch today?
lf you’re a gardener, today was a national holiday devoted to casting off the excess veggies from your harvest.
So I hope you paid it forward…
In produce.
On our evening walk today, Central Park was every shade of green.
As I came upon this gorgeous view, all I could think was…
What a doozy of a jigsaw puzzle it would make!
On an average day, New Yorkers like myself (non-car owners) are very earth-friendly as we run to work or do our errands around the neighborhood.
You will see us:
Or possibly:
Or, if our knees can handle it:
Even the subway is a very green choice (although there are things you need to know):
(Thanks, Nathan.)
Happy Earth Day everybody!

“Nothing is sexier than a sharp, happy mind atop a lean, healthy body. Few foods are able to deliver this promise like kale.”
This is wrong on SO many levels.
No. No.
NO.

One man’s trash
At first glance, this looks a bit like a stained glass window.
Perhaps that was photographer and graphic designer Mandy Barker’s inspiration.
But her creation uses material debris found in the sea, not glass.
It’s part of her art series ‘SOUP’ which seeks to raise awareness of the mass accumulation of plastic in the world’s oceans. Mandy has even been nominated twice for the Prix Pictet Award, which is the world’s leading photographic award in sustainability.
I’ve learned a couple of things I didn’t know, so I’d say her artwork is doing the trick.
