1. Remember those oleander bushes? I never did get around to digging them up, but our spring frost killed off a lot of branches. I’ve trimmed a few of them, and they are amazingly resilient, but it’s slow going. A couple of weeks ago I headed out to tackle yet another bush that I think [...]

I came across this top ten list of best, appropriate technology to help the poor in third world countries. What’s appropriate technology? The goal of Appropriate Technology (AT) is to increase the standard of living for the developing world without condescension, complication, or environmental damage.

I just discovered that my comment spam filter was a little too strict. I was trying to tweak it to get around the spam where it is a copied comment, reposted with a spammy link. Except, it marked some good comments as spam, too. I’ve approved a few comments, if you didn’t see your comment [...]

There was a curriculum hall with waaayyy too many book tables (natch) and some really good talks, including a nun who presented the Montessori method for teaching reading (the first time I’d seen them presented in person), a priest talking about [...]

1. It is always a sad day when the baby reaches the combined milestones of being able to stand without holding on (leaving BOTH hands free!) and being tall enough to see into the trash can. The tragedy is multiplied when we’ve had rice for dinner and floor’s already been swept. 2. About birth stories. [...]

On a lighter note, some links from around the Web. 1. Something’s rotten in Denmark. Striking because you want to drink MORE beer on the job? 2.

1. I am absolutely loving the 4 Moms 35 Children posts. Start at the Common Room and work your way through the links to the other ladies. 2. I made some really good short ribs the other day, out of grass fed beef provided by my sister. Basically, I braised them on the stove, then [...]

1. All week the children kept telling me about their onions that had yellow flowers. We do have some stragglers of green onions still in the garden, and they keep bringing me fistfuls of yellow weeds, so I thought that’s what they were talking about. Nope. My daffodils (planted last year and forgotten) are blooming! [...]
