Joel 2:21-24, 26a

“Do not fear, O soil; be glad and rejoice, for the Lord has done great things! Do not fear, you animals of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness are green; the tree bears its fruit, the fig tree and vine give their full yield. O children of Zion, be glad and rejoice in the Lord your God; for he has given the early rain for your vindication, he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the later rain, as before. The threshing floors shall be full of grain, the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. . . . You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied.”
A passage to ponder while on my knees in the dirt on these cool/warm, sunny/rainy, almost-spring days. Can gardening be a part of bringing heaven down to earth? I have to think yes.
The Meal: an international food-art project

The project: anyone who wanted to participate took a photo of themselves and what they happened to be eating at 12 p.m. Eastern Standard Time, February 24th, and sent it to the folks at Art House Coop.
I missed being able to participate by 1 hour and 45 minutes!
Apparently my head has been too deep into my own book to catch the food news, but at least I can still engage as an observer and a food-and-art enthusiast! And so can you. Check back to this site to see an exhibition of these meal self-portraits: Art House Coop
What a great way to get a slice of what is happening, of how people are participating in their local, regional, and global food systems, all around the world, in one moment of time.
Here is a photo of what I am eating right now, just for you all. And just to make me feel better. (I decided to leave out myself in my lazy Friday sweats.) Gingerbread in February. I see no problem with that!
