just a reminder it's still winter



I made a weekend breakfast this snow day morning: omelettes and toast. Then Matt, Uwharrie, and I headed into the bright morning sunlight, a stop first at the Morning Dew coffee shop, then Fabrics & Foam, and finally here, at the library.

Yesterday I installed a rack on my bike, and we just picked out the fabric and velcro so Matt - who loves a project - can make me saddlebags. I may be biking to work pretty soon! As always with something like this, I wish I'd done it sooner, like last fall. I've been missing the fresh air that would wake me up when I walked the four blocks to school in PC. My commute to work is the last piece of the car-free puzzle.

I'm settling into Marion. I finally transferred over my bank accounts and tags, and I'm reading about the history of grassroots organizing in this area. Did you know the three foothills counties have about 20,000 Hmong immigrants?

Ecology studies the interrelationship between organisms and their environment. It originates from the German word okologie, first used in 1873.

This blog documents one organism's interactions with her environment.
What would be the hope of being personally whole in a dismembered society, or personally healthy in a landscape scalped, scraped, eroded, and poisoned, or personally free in a land entirely controlled by the government [or corporations], or personally enlightened in an age illuminated only by TV? - Wendell Berry
