Global warming has promised us extremes in weather and we surely are getting it. If you are not a gardener, you may not be aware of the current drought, the unusually cold then hot spring and many other factors that affect the food we eat. One benefit of shopping at farmers markets or belonging to a CSA (community supported agriculture) is your conversations with the people who grow or raise your foods. It is not uncommon to hear "The girls were very hot this week so we didn't get as many eggs." Or, the tomatoes are a little late but this is a great bean year!
Our food is one way of staying plugged into what is happening around us: in our neighborhoods, to our neighbors and community. So, as I enjoy my tomatoes and eggs this year, I am a little more appreciative of them for I know they are hard won. As I brush my teeth, I'll try to remember to turn the water off, hoping that the farmers will be getting the water they need. And I promise not to grumble if it rains on my day off.

Hi Linda,
I just want to say that I have really enjoyed your blog!!!! I have read parts before, but today, I decided to read the whole thing.
Your one post about the future of libraries---I think that as long as there are baby boomers---there will be physical books. NOTHING can compare to HOLDING a book and reading. Talking books and e-books, are okay---but---HOLDING a book can not be compared to anything !!!!!
I really enjoy your Tips & Hints from the Hive. Please keep that up !!!
I enjoyed your Eating Locally post. I also need to check out your website altunderground.org.
Have a GREAT day !!!! Happy Blogging !!!!!!
Peace, Sally
