Rain Barrels Ready to Roll

Roll out the rain barrels, prepare the five-gallon pails, ready the greenhouse, spring is a-coming. Although it is too cold for working outside and the ground is still frozen, soon will be the day for planting seeds in the house, greenhouse and garden.

With seeds and spring comes hope that we, working together, can grow and make peace, green peace. Hope keeps us going all year around but is especially needed in the last throes of winter.

As worms inspired these web page years ago, may the cow renew it this spring. With spring approaching I need to contact persons in India, where the cow and cow dung are key to growing. Also I need to talk to my son’s neighbors who have a Dairy Farm with plenty of cows whose primary product, unlike in India, is milk, not dung. Before I can apply the use of cow dung to urban growing I need to learn more about cows. The teachers are out there but I need to seek them out, learn and listen.

I will keep this diary posted on what I learn from the cow for urban growing.

Today I added three links to “What’s New on the Nonviolent Cow?” on the front page. My son, Peter, has been doing some wonderful art with the paint program on the computer. He showed me one today, called wait and when I showed him how easy it is to add it to his web page he said let’s do some more tomorrow. The barrel gets ready to roll.

A young, recent high school graduate friend, son of some other friends, wrote me asking to promote his web page Twick and Jake’s Organization for Inspiration. I said why not. I mentioned it in the posting last night and today I put the link on the front page. More to come. The barrel starts to roll.

Also on the front page I added the link to Indian Recipes. The barrel is already rolling on this project and now I have a change to add to the recipe for dal.

Whatever barrels you are rolling or ready to roll in your life keep on rolling. Spring is coming, so roll out the barrels.
