Then the emails started flying regarding Bill C18. I'm surprised there wasn't a tornado warning. Garden Club tonight will be intense.
To calm myself down I thought the best thing to do was attend a vermiculture workshop. The presenter was a cross between a hearty guide leader and earth mother. Her imitation of a red wriggler moving through the kitchen waste, opening its little mouth flap and sucking in the food was beyond description. I would pay to see it again.
My heart goes out to the people of Oso, Washington, our neighbour state. A small place, just like us, suffering an overwhelming disaster. I listened to an interview with a survivor of the mudslide on the radio first thing this morning. Her trembling voice said it all.
I'll leave you with a picture of pansies. Their old name is heartsease.

It is heartbreaking to see the reports on TV about the mudslide. One minute everything is fine, next a disaster beyond comprehension. I do hope a miracle happens and survivors are found.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad news.
DeleteI had not heard about the mud slide but my prayers go out to all of the people affected by this. I'm glad you were able to go and see this presentation. It is good to get the mind off things a bit. I will do anything I can to be a part of helping the farmers and the general public to make congress wake up and say no to big business. My brother is an organic farmer in Bloomington il and he and the other farmers are very concerned. Keep the informative information coming. Take care friend.... Nicole xo
ReplyDeleteI would be interested to know what the situation is in the States. I suspect a similar law is in progress or already on the books. Like here the government doesn't want anybody to know about it. Our in-laws are organic farmers, it is a tough path to follow.
DeleteA mud slide, so sad, let's hope and pray for the people there. Lovely "heartsease"pansies.
ReplyDeleteI find them comforting.
DeleteI have never heard of vermiculture - sounds like wormiculture. We were shocked to see the new coverage on the disaster - amazing how in a few minutes everyone's lives have changed.
ReplyDeleteYes it is wormiculture, for some reason they like to use the Latin term on this side of the pond. I keep saying wormi anyway.
DeleteThe worm woman sounds highly entertaining. All the reports about WA are horrific. So sad... I have a worm bin and it's the easiest thing ever.
