Sun keeps on slippin'

Lately, with the sun slipping ever lower into the horizon these late summer days, I've been pondering it's awesome power to grow, heal, generate heat and provide light. I've been busily preparing for fall and have begun to move plants into the greenhouse in an effort to capture a few more of the waning sun's precious rays. The sun, I'm missing it already.

I hope you'll be amazed by this short clip about "Solar Demi". His mission with the help of our sun is to bring light into the lives of hundreds ( and counting!) and his project is the embodiment of "Do what you can, where you are, with what you have." It gave me goosebumps!

A Question

A rhetorical question:

Isn't there just a little bit of ground hog in each of us? You know, the way winter makes you feel like you've been underground, all wrapped up in your woolies hibernating.

And you can't wait to pop your head up mid-season in hopes that there will sun. And if there is, you turn your noggin up towards the sun's rays, squint your eyes and go mmmmmmm......

But wait, is that my shadow? 6 more dadgum weeks of winter?






So what, who cares. I'm diggin' the moment.

Greetings from the trail.
