An odd but needed donation click --

Right now you can add this link to your weekly clicking for hunger or mammograms or literacy -- Seventh Generation has a special, needed offer.

Women's shelters go through thousands of tampons and pads monthly. Assistance agencies generally
help with expenses of "everyday" necessities such as toilet paper, diapers,and clothing, but one of the most BASIC needs is overlooked - feminine hygiene products.

Seventh Generation, a green paper products and sanitary products company, will donate sanitary products to a women's shelter in your chosen state - just for clicking the link.

Many thanks!

marthawells has sent along a virtual gift in honor of Women's History month. Thank-you, Martha! The icons show up on your profile page, and there are many you can send to friends and loved ones. So, have you got a favorite woman from history, one you respect, admire, would have loved to meet -- or assist in their cause?

I will need to think about it awhile. Part of the reason I am who I am is that I didn't find very many role models for what I thought I wanted for my life -- so I improvised.

Not Yet!

I went outside into a delicately warm night to dump some dried up blackberries into the compost box, and as I turned to go back into the office, I heard...one lone cricket slowly testing his legs.

I am not ready for summer, thank you very much.

But it was a glorious day, and tonight is almost perfect. I see a walk on the horizon.
