Saturday April 22 Earth Day
Sunny Clear and a Million Light Breezes High 57 degrees.
Nice in the sun.
Planted and weeded and pruned at Fox Island United Church of Christ
Planted Lonicera nitida 'Braggesen's Gold' and Rosa odorata 'Mutabilis' along the front of the educational building. I recieved these plants free from the college greenhouse end of the year give away to poor students. This was an unpublished give away, and as luck would have it I was there that day. I got a lot of stuff too. Thats what they call me ole lucky Claire. Anyway all this stuff was pretty small but they will grow. Things wanna live.

Youth at Fox Island UCC

Our youth at Fox Island UCC passed out hundreds of Mardi Gras beads to our children, during the children's minute. The Youth had gone down to minister to the homeless with food and clothing. Then they proceeded to fast for 30 hours this weekend. They spent Saturday night in cardboard boxes in our Narthex. Just to experience what it might feel like to be homeless. The beads represent the 67,000 children in the USA who die each year from hunger.

"Your mama goes to college"

Your mama goes to collge...
A quote from Napoleon Dynamite... a family movie favorite.


It is a long drive up to West Seattle. By the time I get home I am really tired. My class is from 9 to 3. We are way out on the edge of campus near the Arboretum. There is a Culinary Institute there so the lunches are GREAT. There is a bakery too.
I like to bring my lunch and eat in the Arboretum.
