It is so good to be back in the real world, bills and all. There is no rest for the wicked, though. We are happy with the progress that we are making. The interesting thing is that the end of Month on the Street is not an ending. We are just heading into another phase. If nothing else, we have added to our mission with the start of the new Art in Agriculture project. The beautiful thing about The Waiverly Projects is that they encompass a wide area of well...areas that are all designed to improve the world a little.
Our installation is designed to bring the beauty of the world out with a practical purpose. We want to create an entire acre of green space. It is pretty simple when you think about it. Look around. Take a moment to notice all of the disused places where, with a little time and effort, there could be green, life producing, life enhancing...life! Abandoned lots, odd corners, and barren spots in your backyard, there are so many places that can be greened! An acre is about the size of a football field with the end zones cut off. I can see about that much just looking out of my window.
On top of all of that, we see so many people, mainly kids, who have no idea where their food comes from. The average meal originates about 1100 miles away and by the time it reaches us, it has been injected and modified in so many ways that it only moderately resembles what it began as.
On top of all of that...Fresh air! So please follow along as we go on this new journey. We are still working on Winnie Mae's. We will still be doing Week on the Street in January...We will still be working on all of our goals!
i am just so proud of you!
