<\/a><\/p>\nBob has taken on the heady world of auditing, requiring massive amounts of complicated paperwork and travel to large ethanol processing plants (left) and landfills (right). He is learning to audit biofuels and bioproducts facilities from farm to distribution to a German certification standard. In a freak accident at the landfill, a great egret flew up and into the rental car windshield, shattering the view for the rest of the trip.<\/p>\n

SOME TRAINING REQUIRED<\/h3>\n
Training to audit businesses to the ISCC standard (International Sustainability & Carbon Certification) takes Bob to Germany for a week.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n How refreshing to go where people have got so many things figured out, from monumental architecture, to beautifully landscaped cemeteries. See more of this story here:\u00a0Bob’s Week in Cologne<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On the way home: glimpses of the Rhine River winding its way through Germany’s interior and out to sea on the Belgian coast.<\/p>\n Just off shore – a giant wind farm. And then, icy views of Newfoundland.<\/p>\n A multi-colored view of Toronto, and a colorful welcome-home sunset in North Carolina.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Judy loves to look at animals. Camille does too. So off they went for a day at one of the finest zoos in the country.

We add turmeric and ginger to almond milk to make Golden Milk, a tonic that prepares us for flu season while easing muscles sore from the work of harvesting. This year we will dig about 100 pounds of ginger and turmeric from the Sunken Gardens of Moncure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\nA WEEK IN COLOGNE<\/h3>\n
