Your idea of using pantyhose made me laugh - but I appreciate the idea of how I can use the pile of never-worn garmets in my drawer! I am not known for having a green thumb, but am excited about my fledgling garden. This year, I am trying: lettuce, chard, bell peppers, peas, yellow squash, globe eggplant, lemon cucumber, artichoke and herbs. It is a genuine effort - and our kids will love knowing where our food comes from!

I was lucky enough to go on an educator study tour with Heifer International during the summer of 2007. It was an amazing experience and I can speak to the quality of the work they are doing. Lots of our friends and family will be getting animals donated in their name for the holidays! Thanks for linking to them!
