Time to get started folks! Time to get back to basics.
Yes..These are still being made.
Now that oil is at $120.00 a barrel and the stations around here want about what seems to be $120.00 a gallon I started pursuing the local hardware store ads for you guessed it...a push mower.

America has lived in grand denial. In the words of Baldwin, white supremacy has caused this nation to believe in rationalizations so fantastic it approaches the pathological. She has lived among slaves and masters and the descendants of slaves and masters far too long without any meaningful degree of reconciliation or compensation, even apology is long overdue. Other colonial societies such as the French and Australia recently apologized for colonialism, but not America, the chief colonizer of the modern world. She is mainly guilty of domestic colonialism, having enslaved the Native Americans, and then kidnapped millions of Africans who were brought to these shores for eternal servitude. After emancipation, America promised the freed Africans a few acres and a mule, but never delivered. She promised freedom after her slaves provided 200,000 troops who were decisive in the Civil War, but disarmed them and returned them to virtual slavery called Reconstruction, which was short-lived and essentially put the freed slaves in neo-servitude, at the whim of terrorists known as Klu Klux Klan.

Don’t worry if you haven’t got a garden or allotment! For a surprising amount of food can be produced indoors, vegan organically, either on your windowsill or on a well-lit kitchen surface.

First of all folks, I must apologize for being a week late in getting this out, since I pestered my few but hard-core dedicated writers to submit articles and I myself missed the deadline. But it’s all good.
As you can see...things are pretty much on ice and snow up here where I’m at. Marty the Monk that resides in my herb garden finally had enough snow melt around him to acually show his face for the first time in weeks.

Why give libation? Kemetic culture teaches us, “pour libation for your father and mother who rest in the valley of the departed. God will witness your action and accept it. Do not forget this even when you are away from home. For as you do for your parents, your children will do likewise for you.” - Ani or Egyptian book of the Dead. For an example of libation read more

“The best and shortest road towards knowledge of truth is Nature.”
Egyptian Proverbs were a very important part of the Ancient religion of Egypt, one of the main religious concepts the Egyptians had was “know thyself.” Their spiritual aspect of this concept held that within man is the divine essence of the Creator and the Heavens. And this finds expression in their teaching: “The kingdom of heaven is within you; and whosoever shall know himself shall find it.”. Proverbs were held as a teaching method for a man to understand the universe, thus they were inscribed in temples and tombs of Egypt, these inscriptions might be the first “Holy Book” known by man.

This project has been years in the planning, months in the making, and days in acually getting it started....The hard-core, die hard grower in me refused to sit idly by and spend yet another winter thumbing through seed catalogs dreaming of the next season. I had a workshop that was sitting idle and collecting gardening tools which to me is a huge waste of this particular space. As of yesterday it is a green house....Albeit a messy one with no plants but it is one now.

Unbowed: A Memoir
In Unbowed, Wangari Maathai offers an inspiriting message of hope and prosperity through self-sufficiency. We see her studying with Catholic missionaries, earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees in the United States, and becoming the first woman both to earn a Ph.D. in East and Central Africa and to head a university department in Kenya.

On the temples of Luxor, Kemet (Ancient Egypt) reads the proverb: The best and shortest road towards knowledge of truth is Nature. If we are to obtain knowledge of truth we must begin with nature.
