DAILY ACTIONS
Participant Feed
Reflection, encouragement, and relationship building are all important aspects of getting a new habit to stick.
Share thoughts, encourage others, and reinforce positive new habits on the Feed.
To get started, share “your why.” Why did you join the challenge and choose the actions you did?
Getting ready for winter. Heeled in my outdoor Bonsai and brought all the plants in for the winter. Planted daffodils and crocus and am in process of digging up the canna bulbs. Awaiting my 10 bare root trees from the Arbor Day foundation.
Rachel Carson said that we need the beauty and mysteries of the natural world for our spiritual and emotional development. Does that ring true for you? What are the implications for a culture that spends most of its time indoors?
Spent all day Sunday outdoors. Marveled at how plants keep trying to grow despite the shorter days. Or how the waters edge changes the plants it touches.
I have been working on the trees on my property a lot this fall. Trimming the volunteers out and shaping the Yews and working on the maples. We had to cut down our ponderosa pine which was very sad. It had just gotten large enough to matter! However it got the pine tip blight and pine beetle borers.
