Take a moment to give a prayer for peace. Try another for social justice. Add 45 more for saving the earth. (Remember in WWII, when scarity of commodities was rampart and gas was rationed, familieis were encouraged to create victory gardens. When we grow our own food, we will seldom be hungry. My father was young during the depression and would tell how hard it was. One day I said, “But you had a cow, and chickens, and a garden, did you ever go hungry?” There was silence and he never told another story. His father had work too, and they owned their own house and several properties, plus land. Times were still hard, yes, but he was far better off than most of his neighbors. Plus he had a violin that he played.
I know the power of a garden, our childhood gardens were bountiful. Ditto with a few of my adult ones. If you are in the city you can grow things on decks and windows and support community gardens and farmers markets. We need to support our farmers and create healthy soil.
Back to normal broadcasting:
It’s the weekend with much about town going on. I will do several blogs covering differnt finds that you may enjoy. Be sure to go to the end of this blog and see some unexpected listings.
As this cold winter continues, it’s comforting to know there’s someplace warm to dance to great local music, and enjoy some tasty craft beers and delicious food in a casual atmosphere!
We have 3 great local bands for your dancing pleasure this weekend!
We hope to see you soon!
