Yesterday I received an email reminding me that the 10th annual Earth Hour event is coming up. For one hour, millions around the world turn off their lights as a symbol of commitment to the planet. I first heard about Earth Hour and observed it in 2008 which was the event’s second year. We’ve been…
Farmers Markets and Buying Local
Yesterday morning I needed to be in town to pick up my co-op order. Afterwards I went by the farmers market. The last time I went there wasn’t much available yet but yesterday I scored: new potatoes green beans zucchini yellow squash tomatoes and even a few small peaches I love buying our produce from…
World Homeless Day
Today is World Homeless Day, an event designed to draw attention to issues of homelessness. “The purpose of World Homeless Day is to draw attention to homeless people’s needs locally and provide opportunities for the community to get involved in responding to homelessness, while taking advantage of the stage an ‘international day’ provides.” How you…

If you’ve been following me any length of time you’ve probably picked up on the fact that I’m a summer girl. Spring is…

Dee’s Week In Review
I’m not sure if this will be a regular feature but I’m thinking that I’ll do a “week in review” post on Saturdays. I know that there are times I haven’t kept up with everything on my favorite blogs and I hate to mark the posts “read” in my Feedly reader when I haven’t read…
Want to get fit with me?
I’m at a point in my life where I really, really need to make health and fitness a priority. I’m not getting any younger (or thinner, unfortunately). There are so many things I want to do in my life but without good health and plenty of energy I won’t be able to do it all….
