My copy of Mother Earth News arrive a couple of days ago, but I didn’t have time to sit down with it until last night at bedtime. Perusing the magazine in bed, I suddenly sat up with an Oh My Gosh!…waking DH. He didn’t know what had hit him. After apologizing for my over-zealous exclamation, I shared my excitement about seeing an article by Jules Dervaes in Mother.
It seems that I am a late comer in this knowledge. I vaguely remember something being written at Little Homestead in the City, but with all the sickness at my house I had made a mental note to return to the post later when I could concentrate. I had no idea it was being published in Mother Earth News!
WooHoo to the Dervaes Family! See the article at An Amazing and Productive Urban Homestead. Afterwards you might run over and check out their newest project–Freedom Seeds, “the revolutionary new seed sovereignty movement spearheaded by the non profit Dervaes Institute.”

Love the quilt. Too tired to read something heavy right now; but a quilt is a green thing. Or…was orginally. People used left overs, garments they could no longer wear, cut them up and made quilts. That was green. Nowdays, not so much. They shop for the squares, buy new cloth vs the reuse. Still though I like them.
