This last weekend was a heavy duty volunteer weekend! Our bike club hosted Deer Trail Road Race on Saturday. On Sunday, six of us from the Goss-Grove Community Garden weeded two large flower beds, and then they were watered in the process of emptying water bottles left over the race a couple of hours later. All that work was rewarded by a cold Margarita!
The multiplicative effect
From two to four a garden was weeded by six willing hands. From five to six, a garden was watered by four willing hands. In each willing movement, the earth was restored and nourished. And so were we.
Never Let Me Go: One of the strangest page turners I have ever read. Not sure if I could recommend it, though.
Animal, Vegetable, Miracle: On eating locally, and from your own garden. Food for thought!
Slouching Towards Bethlehem: Appropriate reading while listening to audio clips from Mayor Richard Daley on how he's going to keep the peace during the 1968 Democratic National Convention.
The Razor's Edge: A character for everyone to relate to. A must read.
Snow: Only finished half of this story of a somewhat nutty Turkish poet in a land torn apart between secularism and Islam.
The Things They Carried: A 43 year old journalist reflects on his experiences in war. A good book worth reading.
Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress: A delightful, quick read. HIghly recommend it.
Le Cle dans La Porte: The French got quite a bit harder and I'm still working on this one! Zut, alors!
The Audacity of Hope: After reading this, I am even more impressed with Barack.
