We planted our first batch of tulip bulbs this fall at our new house. The girls seemed to really enjoy the process. I have been reading alot lately about sustainable living and urban homesteading. I've been thinking about the general dissconnection we have with the earth and natural environments. We move from one controlled environment to another---the office--the car--the house. I am so wanting to help my children enter into a relationship with nature. I want to have them like to be outside. I want them to get dirty and have cockle burs stuck in their sweaters and socks. We have begun a compost pile and our drawing up plans for our garden next summer. Fridays are from now on going to be with out computer and game boys as a way to redirect their attention to the out side. We shall see.
