Book Review: Slow Death By Rubber Duck

Several weeks ago, wandering through Borders books, I was glancing through the environmental section and saw the title of this book. I was of course intrigued, and picked it up to examine it.

This was a busy weekend, and a rather self-imposed one at that. Saturday I had a great burst of energy, and I decided to try out some recipes I have found for various home cleaning products. And I have not one photo to document it all because I never remember until afterwards. *sigh*. Next time.…

I’m always conscious these days about my plastic and disposables consumption, and I try to stay within the boundaries I’ve set for myself. That’s not always possible, and these few days have shown me where…

Meditative Work

Today I spent the day at the Village Renaissance Festival in Bucks County, PA. I’ve been a participant/performer at renfaires for about 13 years. While once I was a performer in a madrigal group, now I do demonstrations of weaving and spinning. Some interested (and some quite bored) children come around and their parents show…
