We have had quite an adventurous weekend at the Mustard Seed House. Saturday morning we braved the cold and the snow (or at least threatened snow) to get out and plant the cool season garden – cauliflowers, cabbages, broccoli & greens all went into the ground and are obviously shivering under the unexpectedly cold burst of weather Seattle is enduring. Hopefully the row covers will keep them snug and warm.
Saturday night we held a community games night by candlelight to celebrate Earth Hour. It was great – not just because we saved a small amount of energy by turning off the lights but more importantly because we had a wonderful community evening of fun and fellowship. We are thinking about repeating this once a month. Another way to slow down and enjoy life.
Unfortunately most of the rest of Seattle did not turn off the lights – though Sydney Australia certainly did. Here is a great video of the lights on the harbour bridge and opera house going out.
