How shall I put this?
I am currently watching for silver poo.

Lazy Sunday. Woken unusually from sleep by one barking and one restless and whimpering dog, I let them out of their crates at 7:19 and then outside tense moments later.

If I have the chutzpah to call myself Organic Mama, then it is high bloody time to imbue this place with examples and sources of the issues I feel are important and that reflect that name. To start, I have added treehugger.com to my blogroll; it’s a site with the integrity I seek, with [...]
