pothole gardens and other great things...

There are so many amazing social projects and movements going on these days - - guerrilla gardening, urban farming, etc...

Recently I had a conversation with a fella attempting an experimental writing project in which he left a number of journals around his city with a request that finders write a page in the journal continuing the story, leave the journal somewhere other than where they found it, and send a little line to a site he created to track the movement of the journal. So. Cool.

It sort of reminded me of Kacie Kinzer's "tweenbots" experiment in Central Park.



Read more about it {here}.

Today I heard about Pete Dungey's "pothole gardening" project in Britain. The idea is to bring attention to "the problem of surface imperfections on Britain's roads". After our recent visit, Luke and I could probably both agree that this project would be incredible in Durham, North Carolina where the roads are sporting numerous llama-sized potholes.


Explaining the project Pete Dungey has said, "If we planted one of those in every hole, it would be like a forest in the road." I'm tempted to find a pothole near my own home and participate in expanding the project... you should too. ;)

weddingbee flowers


Beautiful, beautiful. I don't plan on having a huge three-tier white cake at my wedding and I probably won't be overemphasizing pinks and yellows but I do love these flowers! Wouldn't they look great at a girly baby shower? Or is that just my crazed-baby-shower-planning-delirium shining through?? Maybe without the light pink roses... just bright poppies and the yellow flower balls and books! books! books!

The mail man came to visit today...

...and he brought me something really special.


They're even prettier in person.
Talk to Meg to get some of your very own.
