They had bags of organic soil piled in front of a scripture placard, which put me in mind of Jesus' parable of the sower (Matthew 13): "...but the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the one who hears the word and understands it.

Love your line about not having any money - isn't it interesting how growing your own, preserving, baking, sewing etc all seem to be coming back into fashion now that times are tougher? Nearly the first thing I did when I bought my first home as a student was to dig a decent size vegetable garden - too many times the budget was too tight to go out and buy food but I could always find a meal in my garden all year round. Hope you have a lovely weekend :-)IslandHomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14521703119869641429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657212579203937139.post-55465493988848169472010-05-14T01:10:16.748-04:002010-05-14T01:10:16.748-04:00Hahahaha I love the - "So - were we eco-minde...Hahahaha I love the - "So - were we eco-minded avant-garde recycling mavericks?

Poverty has a way of making one appreciate how great conservation is, even Rush fans know this. I will add that cloth diapers are the wave of the future and only the "moms-in-the-know" use them now! So many scientific and medical reasons to use cloth rather than disposable...if only the greater public knew the truth. (However, I admit that I do get joy out of the thought of throwing away a pooey diaper instead of having to "take care" of a pooey cloth diaper.) I tried to get Zac on board with the idea of cloth wipies, but he turned that down, sad boy.Niamhnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2657212579203937139.post-44630723988322790242010-05-13T19:19:54.295-04:002010-05-13T19:19:54.295-04:00Hey Jodi!
