Taking a break
While awaiting the next storm to test yesterday's leak repair effort I managed to get out and get a few pictures of the lush growth this year. The ground is now so wet I can't even get on it with my tractor to do some of the maintenance projects I want to accomplish this summer.

It's Time to Go Home
The truth about nature is that she is inside us, all around us, just waiting for us to ask her what to do. The truth about civilization is that it was an honest mistake, an invention that was necessary at the time, a mere 30,000 years ago, when nature appeared to be letting us down and we thought we could do better. But now it has outlived its usefulness, and is out of control, and threatens the survival of all life on our planet, so it's time to let it go. It's time to move forward and imagine and invent a new culture, a sustainable one that works for all creatures on Earth, drawing on the best learnings from nature and the best innovations from civilization.
It's time to go home.
