a local paper did a short story on rain gardens, and included me and some other residents in the article. this was both a good oppurtunity to spread info about rain gardens, and to give credit to a friend named Ellen for her efforts.

what a view, this lovely old dame, mother earth, weeping rain on astroturf. concrete slabs blot out fertile soil while plastic ego's gripe and toil. away the people go down this path of enlightened destruction, embrace "truth" than die and make room…

Erf!

what a view, this lovely old dame, mother earth, weeping rain on astroturf. concrete slabs blot out fertile soil while plastic ego's gripe and toil. away the people go down this path of enlightened destruction, embrace "truth" than die and make room for all the life we have been raping and suffocating. maybe a few can stick around, humbled enough to truly appreciate the simple blessing of a summer storm.

Truth

one cool thing about consistently telling the truth is it forces you to check yourself. unless you already live in a very virtuous and empathetic way you will find yourself having to fess up to some embarrassing and hurtful stuff. so you start to change for the better so telling the truth isn't so difficult... just the regularly practiced act of honesty itself is a great catalyst for positive change.

Hey Paul,

If you check out your wife's page, you'll see that I left a comment asking for any help on rain gardens. She directed me to you. In a nut shell, I've been given the task to create a straight-forward worksheet that will take an individual step-by-step through planning and constructing a rain garden. To do this well, I hope to interview people who have actually taken the plung and installed a rain garden. I see, through your wife, that you have taken the plung, so I would love to hear your thoughts on the subject, especially what has and has not worked for you and important steps in the process. Thanks for your assistance!
