For the A-Z Blogging Challenge as well as for so many others - I can turn this letter into a World Crisis!
I'd be a lot more challenged if I hadn't gone through the alphabet last month and brainstormed themes for each letter. I have my handy list to refer to and here's what I can choose from today:
- compost
- clocks
- convenience
- chickens
- cold frames
- chocolate
- cats
- cows
- corn
- cedars
- clary sage
- coolness
- children's books
I'll talk about my dreams of becoming the Compost Queen later. Also my neighbors chickens when we get to E for eggs. I don't need the temptation of chocolate since I just gave up sugar... again. I could write about my neighbors cows, but I'd rather tell you about their luscious milk when we get to M. Because having raw, local milk is a very cool thing indeed!
So meet a few of my cats:
 |
| This is Sassafrass |
|
 |
| Pippin on the Roof |
|
 |
| Chai being Bored |
|
|
 |
| Duchess on Call |
|
On a grander scale, I'm feeling dreadfully challenged by all the environmental issues we face, whether from oil spills, GM contamination, declining bee populations; it seems like our battles are endless, and I often feel we're losing the game, don't you? I suppose we can only take one step at a time and do what we can. Part of my contribution to environmental betterment is through promoting a little publisher named Little Pickle Press. They publish children's books in an environmentally sustainable way. Here's one of my favorite titles by Rana DiOrio.
You can buy the hardcover book
here. It's also available through
iTunes and
Kindle for you gadgets. Because teaching children how important the environment is, well, it's as important as teaching adults to take care of the only planet we have.
What about you? What's challenging you today? Please leave me a comment.
