haiku future

  2. The first Butterfly visited today. Perhaps Butterfly’s are becoming extinct? How dare we let such beauty live.

    We should move and let things grow, don’t over inhabit. And then move again. Too many people. My partner said today, “we have organic this and organic that, much trendy organic stuff, why don’t we have organic humans?”

    Everything seems to know how to live except people.

  3. Just calling in briefly - thanks for posting some photos on your facebook page, Mickey.

    And hello, Joe - from a wet Daylesford.

  4. Hello Joe and Helga. On the concept of “how dare we let such beauty live”: http://www.prairiefrontier.com/pages/butterflies/endangered.html

  5. Hi Helga, Mickey, Joe, and all…

    Joe...Have you seen any lightning bugs yet?  I am waiting, but yesterday I had a deer stroll through the yard.

    The photo on the front page reminds me of the strength of ‘life force’. Amazing… maybe when all the people are gone, there will still be grass.

  6. Joe...It has been raining so much up here that I have mushrooms growing in my yard.

  7. Hello RMJ...I thought I saw a few lightning bugs, but Jeanne thinks it’s still too cold. It’s been getting very chilly in the evening around here, some days quite cold.

    Do you know if any of the mushrooms are edible?

    Mickey, that’s an interesting site. I guess every damn thing is endangered, but Tel Aviv and Washington could care less. Committing suicide and demanding our complicity. How insane it all is.

  8. I was wondering who I’d bet on in a struggle between Humanity and Grass. Then I started to wonder which one was the weed.

    Gaddafi offers to hold elections 3 months after a ceasfire and stand down if he loses...all the deal needs is for the “peace” and “democracy” lovers to allow a chance for peace and democracy (or at least call his bluff). You don’t win a coconut for guessing that the US/UK/France… are not accepting the deal.

    Perhaps our governments should be made up of other species. I reckon a dolphin, a crested newt and an aardvark couldn’t do any worse.

  9. Hi again, Joe, Mickey, Rosemary and Rick - from Daylesford, where we are going to have ‘light rain’ all day today, tomorrow and the day after.  It is Sunday morning at 8:50 now. 

    Re butterflies, Joe:  I read some decades ago that some butterflies might survive but most would be extinct within a few years from then.

  10. Nancy Lord’s “Early Warming,” about various climate change phenomena in Alaska, is useful if you have any doubts that we’re charging down a blind alley. She makes an effort to not appear hopeless, but the evidence is harsh. With the spillover and cascade effects of collapsing ecosystems (like the Bering Sea), I think the question is how many species will survive what’s in store.

    OK, back to the normal Sunday morning cheerfulness. Farmer’s market today.
