Have you seen the little piggies?

We are in the thick of packing up our citrus farm to move back to the Pacific Northwest.

The goal is to see some of the west, save and conserve it through supporting local economies of ecotourism, and hope our climate activism inspires others to snap out of despair.

And demand clean energy for as long as you can breathe.

Even so, packing up decades worth of stuff, (and when you also have tons your parents left you when they passed) AND a whole mess of tools for farming food and flowers, despite all best efforts, your realize your possessions own you.

We have made efforts to go zero waste but our wasteful consumeristic culture does not allow it.

Re-purpose your purpose

Because every plastic cap — even though I avoid them — cannot repurpose into a garden butterfly mosaic no matter how hard I try. Not every scrap of discarded chair leg, or board can be made into a bird house.
