Simplicity, is the word of the day.  " Simplicity " is what is needed in this complicated world
we humans have built around ourselves.  Simplicity in nature, the nature of simplicity.

                  

                                  "Pluralitas non est ponenda sine neccesitate"
                                  "Frustra fit per plura quod potest fieri per pauciora"
                                  "Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem"


 

 "We are to admit no more causes of natural things than such as are both true and sufficient to explain their appearances."

"When you have two competing theories that make exactly the same predictions, the simpler one is the better."

Today as the world celebrates," Earth Hour " by turning off their lights, we are saying, " Turn on your lights with Solar Power. "

Nature has a way with words, yet sometimes there are no words to describe the workings
going on in nature. To sit and observe in total silence is enough.

Another Sun-Day has come about to present itself upon the Planet Earth and we are here to welcome it with open arms.

As we rise into the new day dawning, no wailing, or whale eyes glare, it is just another fine day standing right there. Today old man winter has returned for his last party before departing for a long vacation.

It was down to near freezing last night and the forecast is showing the same for the next few nights. After this cold snap is heading off into the Sunset, we will launch full blown outdoor gardening projects. Talk about things coming alive around here, literally! 

The Solar electric bike is all charged up awaiting a journey. I guess may have to invent somewhere to go. Well,  sprints around the farm is enough for now.  Someone said to me yesterday that every human being living inside the cities should have one of these, then  replied, "  Your Right!~ Country side too!~  "  

 

 

 This machine seems so magical when one comes to a hill, it simply whizzes right over it, then gravity takes over for the ride down hills.  Once this type technology gets a grip into Solar Cars the pertrol-chemical fuel world is over, and over for good just like we all know it should. The electric bike has a 60 mile range on a single charge. To burn fossil fuels is ludacris, to the point of madness. Of course we may need fossil fuels way into the future for verious technologies, so why burn the darn stuff?

If you ask me, America jumped the gun,and headed off into a future most believe is a bad way to go, so we are expecting a mass exodus from the mega cities in the very near future as millions of people begin to return to their own best nature. A city is the worst place one would want to be as systems begin to deteriorate, from fossil fuel era infrastructure, to nuclear power plants.


   


The  trick here is to plant stuff that is in season, as everything you see growing in the greenhouse requires no extra heat except the daily Solar gain.  Starting in about a week we will start planting and transplanting more Spring time crops, into and outside the greenhouse.

Time ! Think about it, " Time"  Everybody wants more time to do the things they love.  Time is everywhere all around us all the time, so why are so many people caught up in this, no time thing?  It is all about what people are doing with their time. You would think people are running out of time.  The Universe has a lot of time in fact it has billions of years of time all out there in time continuums all over. Some say,  " Time is relative "  The Universe is expanding in fact the Universe is expanding very fast.  The expanding Universe is basically what gives us a sense of time passing as objects move through time especially our planet Earth which happens to be where most of us are spending our time.  In a sense Planet Earth is a time machine for without the Earth we wouldn't have anywhere at present to live out our lives, which requires time.  In time we are born and in time we die. Time moves on. Time is a continuum and it moves on with or without us. Time is the most precious event in our lives and people cherish time very much. I am taking " time " to write in this blog today. Or in a way, divided time  in order to get something done. The question people need to be asked?  Is how are they spending their time?  "  Your  Time "  think about what I just said,
 " Your Time "   Yes!  It is your time, and your time belongs only to you. You own it, so use it wisely. Time is relative. Relative to you and you alone.  This is your time on Planet Earth so do something good with your life here. At least take time for that.

Its 30 degrees outside this morning here, but have started some plants inside the Solarium including some tomatoes, and bell peppers. The fire in the heater helps keep the cold at bay
as am watching the forecast very closely awaiting the all clear to officially start Spring time planting beyond the threat of freezing out of doors.

Mye, how times flies. Here we are at the last few days of March. A lot of people are beginning their Spring cleaning, and around here there is no difference. With flea market season about to bloom, this is a good time to liquidate some of these extras. This year the term, " lighten your load " is taking on a whole new meaning.

Okay, as you know nowadays there is a lot of hype about, so called, " Doomsday "
and , " The End Of Time " and the media has taken this," Fear "  in the people to sell books, movies, or what have ya? Well all this is expected during a major transitional period between two ages. If people would just look a little further into the future, they wouldn't see any of this  happening at all, but instead a beginning of a wonderful new era of technology
and community. But, yea it will seem like Doomsday for a lot of people's bank accounts, 401 Ks, stock markets,  and the like that have invested heavily in the wrong types of technology, and are basically waking up finding themselves on the wrong side of the tracks. Even though it is not the end of the world for these folks either, they will just simply have to pick themselves up by the bootstraps and start over. Start over in the new world. The new world that was evolving around them all along.

Today we are cleaning out all the stalls, barns, and lots of organic fertilizers and spreading it throughout the raised beds, garden plots and aswell inside the greenhouse. The last few Sunny days have died the material out well. The organic fertilizer is one of the best products being produced by this farm and is basically worth its weight in gold. The stuff in this wagon is the prime substance of this whole operation.

Anticipation, looking forward.

Stir fry is the dish of the day. We collected some from each plant in the greenhouse
and started making stir fry with some olive oil, garlic, and some grilled chicken strips, along with baked sweet potato on the side.

The whole Earth has come back to life here. Trees are budding and flowers are blooming all over. It seems as if the light freeze from the last few nights hasn't harmed the fruit trees. Today we spent some time transplanting beets, and early peas out of the greenhouse into raised beds.  The shop sales are picking up so we should be able to start more projects soon.
