We celebrated the Sabbath of the trees with an amazing Chris meal which focused on fruits and vegetables, especially local and organic. It was wonderful to eat small potatos boiled in their skins in salt (salt potatos), figs and dates with a little cream cheese, fresh black berries, and a blueberry mustard sauce I could just not stop eating - so yummy! I do feel thankful for the fruits of the earth and focused on being responsible for the earth's health. I'm glad we are putting a garden in this spring - a small effort, but pleasing. I fear it is too late for our planet and don't want to believe that, want to believe that making an effort to live more lightly on earth will be a significant part of making a difference.
