I am no expert when it comes to saving the earth. Since I have become an empty nester, I have gone beyond recycling bins at home and buying products that don’t pollute or drain the energy of the earth.
I finally had the time to live one of my dreams. I have a small home and yard. As you know, I live in sunny Los Angeles.
My dream was to start over in my yard. I ripped out brown grass and learned how to build an organic garden. I actually have tomato plants from seeds I started in my garage without the heating pad and lights. They are now in my soil and about hip high.
I am a mom, and at this season, a mom, full time to plants I seeded. I am excited to wake up, grab a sweat shirt and open the doors to see how my little seedlings are each day. Yes, I talk to them and they to me. I mean they let me know what they need and I am happy to respond.
So for now, that is my happiest contribution for loving and respecting Mother Earth. Today I will plant new seeds in honor of Mother Earth…basil and spinach.
Do you like gardening? Do you have ways you are changing how you appreciate and preserve Mother Earth? I need to learn more, so pass it on by commenting here or sending me an email, natalie@emptynestsupport.com
Hope you have time to enjoy the beauty today.

….Earth Day is a special day for me. I started the recyling program here in “Podunk”. I organized the first Earth Day observation here and got local companies to donate for T-shirts for the children and had a contest for the best poster. NOT tooting my horn at all, Im’ just glad the town is aware. I live in a small town, thus the reference to “Podunk”. I had so much fun going to the schools and teaching the children how to make “new” paper out of scraps of old paper by putting them in a blender with water, drying it on screens and reusing it. We hard a hazzardors (SP) recyling day where people could bring their old paint, fertilizer, etc. The town has come a long way, I’m so glad.
