Was it here someone mentioned Better Off?

I just finished reading this book, and I loved it. I really want DH to read it, but he probably won't. I am more convinced than ever that I must have a reel mower to use this summer!

Probably was me. I've been raving about that book ever since I read it a month ago. Isn't it great! Doesn't it totally make you think?

The one thing I am most trying to do is to incorporate the social component to work. For instance, i will have a peach canning social the weekend my peaches are most ripe. Invite friends and neighbors over and can the peaches. Divide the spoils.

I also loved this!
My husband has started a organic, no emission lawn care company - he will be using reel mowers exclusively and combined with our natural fiber business - we are very excited to be taking care of the earth in our way. We need to expand on our community out reach and will be thinking more abou that.
Warm wishes,
Tonya
