Three Little Birds 2008-02-16 10:34:00 Western Meadowlark's SilhouetteWell, I had meant to do this post a bit earlier, but with my unexpected trip to Florida - it's happening now instead. The Great Backyard Bird Count is currently underway - it began on the 15th and goes through the 18th. So if you haven't had a chance to get counting, there's still time! This is your chance to help the scientists and to give a representation of the birds in your area. Bird counts can be gathered by anyone - kids, adults, novices, and experts. It can be enjoyed by an individual or a group. It also makes for an excellent family activity and a possible tradition. Bird watching is a great way to experience nature and to get familiar with the avian residents who share our spaces. Kids can certainly benefit from this knowledge, which can help them Read more:Three

I Heart, I Heart Huckabees 2008-01-31 01:17:00 I truly heart, I Heart
Huckabees.So what does the movie I Heart Huckabees have to do with sustainable living, outdoor recreation, nature, or anything of that sort? Well nothing really, and yet, something too. It happens to be a favorite of mine for its hilarity, unabashed vulnerability, passion, and oddness - yeah, definitely the odd factor. Aside from that, I think Jason Schwartzmann does a superbly perfect job as Albert Markovski - the founder of his local Open Spaces Coalition who is seeking some information on a coincidence with the help of a husband and wife duo (Dustin Hoffman & Lily Tomlin) that offer existential detective work. Albert is trying to save a portion of a marsh from development. Somewhere along the way, he aligns with an executive (Jude Law) from the Huckabees corp

A Snowshoe Adventure - Our First! 2008-01-10 02:31:00 My Husband Chase Looking Like a Seasoned Snowshoer Me, Surviving the ColdThere's a quiet solitude in the snow covered backcountry. One experiences a feeling of isolation as sound is muffled by a thick white blanket of snow. The only noises to break the silence are the "caw caw" of a ravens silhouette, and the eerie creak of a lodgepole pine bending to the will of an icy wind. On a recent trip to the backcountry however, I was not alone at all. Trekking through the snow with me were my husband, Chase and our dog, Bruce on our first time walking with snowshoes.These snowshoes were gifted to us - by us - for Christmas. I was very excited about this purchase as it would enable me to explore areas that I wouldn't be able to get to otherwise (considering I don't have cross-country skis, nor do Read more:Adventure

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. This brilliant triad says it all. Reduce: Avoid buying what you don't need -- and when you do get that dishwasher/lawnmower/toilet, spend the money up front for an efficient model. Reuse: Buy used stuff, and wring the last drop of usefulness out of most everything you own. Recycle: Do it, but know that it's the la
