THE ECO MAN

Also at the local nursery, I met the above Recycle Man who sat quietly in the corner, between the compost area and the chicken coop. The employee told me that the straw bed that contained the discharge from the chicken made good fertilizer for the vegetable garden located at the far corner. Here is a friendly hello to Qaptain Qwerty from the Eco Man in St. Louis. Good luck with your compost bin!

WIND SCULPTURES

These wind driven kinetic sculptures were created by Lyman Whitaker. The whimsical calming wind sculptures are on displayed at Missouri Botanical Garden and at a park in my city. I really admire the creative art work and enjoy watching the sculptures move so beautifully in the gentle wind. Visit http://www.whitakerstudio.com/ for information about the artists, the studio and other wonderful sculptures.

It was a beautiful, pefect day watching the wind sculptures dancing against the sky so blue and so clear with a few white clouds. I hope you enjoy a nice day at the park wherever you are.

EARTH DAY

Happy Earth Day! Here are a few photos I have taken of the beautiful flowers and another precious bird nest, in my neighborhood. I am sure individually we are doing what we can, reuse, reduce and recyle, in our homes and community. Therefore, I will not be like those celebrities broadcasting about being Green, yet live in mansions that require heating/cooling that would cost more than my annual income, or politicians preaching about global warming, yet flying around in private jets or those self-appointed environmentalists who drive around in gas guzzling SUVs, or pushing the popular green agendas, these people do not work at regular jobs or have to earn a decent living and could afford to write books or share their wisdom on talk shows. Some even received awards, for their inflated excellent work on "telling the truth", nothing but the truth!

This weekend there will be an Earth Day Expo at Forest Park. I plan to attend and will share interesting information, and of course, photos in the next post. Hope it will be sunny wherever you are this weekend!
