. We decorated a sheet with our message about why we need to take action against climate change now. (In case you can't read it, our message says"Our kids will thank us for taking care of our Earth"). 1sky is going to take all the decorated sheets from projects like this all across the country and sew them together to make a giant quilt to bring to legislators in D.C. (Their event is actually on Mother's Day but that's a busy weekend for us.)Zelda got to use her elementary school teacher skills by planning out our design and Tarah and I got to use our coloring skills. Messy marker fun!
Covered in glitter and crumbs. Waking up to maracas and fairy wings. Pockets full of rubber bands and dandelions. Buried under book piles. Dirty hands with homemade kombucha. Coffee in the rain. Waiting for that sacred scrap of silence.

Nice going everyone. It looks fabulous and I can see the kids were right in there helping with the project. I agree, start 'em young. This is an issue that definitley concerns them, not to mention the rest of the world.
