We took a walk through our garden this morning, sipping our steaming hot cups of chocolate mocha coffee, and looked at all the new life that is springing up all over the place... this year is going to be fantastic!!
After having a great breakfast of french toast, bacon, and eggs, we are heading out to the local Arboretum to enjoy the Dahlia festival they are having. The horticultural society will be selling dahlia tubers, so we may just come home with a new treasure for the garden.
Its a cool, breezy day here on Long Island, and the windchimes have been singing incessantly. I love it!
Elysia is outside already, waiting on me... so, I'm off like a prom dress!

If only they made running shoes!

With the Johnny Apple Sandal, San Francisco-based LIFT converts New Age earnestness into stealth ecology. Seeds implanted in the sandals are dispersed through their soles, making a virtue of wear and tear: The older the shoe gets, the more plant life it spreads. Kennedy liked the "perverse yet witty idea of spreading seeds like urban burrs." The sandals bring a poetic approach to the idea of land reclamation that is slow, random, and highly personal. The jurors agreed that, ideally, consumers should be able to choose the seeds their sandals would sow. That way they'd be able to trace their own pathways as they flower, transforming the shoes into what Rockwell fantasized as "a delightful, low-tech GPS system."
