<\/a><\/p>\nWe have an office at The Plant<\/a>! It is day-lit with a good view of Lorax Lane, a happy\u00a0little desk donated by Tami, two chairs, storage shelving and Lyle’s fainting couch.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n At The Plant, the landscaping is\u00a0edible and pollinator-friendly as evidenced by these busy flies on flowering mint.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n i A fanciful spotted dill-munching caterpillar eats non stop in preparation for its metamorphosis.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Purslane or Moss Rose (Portulaca) and native Beautyberry (Callicarpa americana) happily grow without watering, another consideration when landscaping at The Plant.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Meanwhile, back at home we have a busy\u00a0oven and vegetable drawers. Camille has discovered a new vegan ribs recipe which start out as steaks. Bob keeps us stocked in peppers and okra from his\u00a0garden.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n We joined the birthday celebration for The Sun Magazine<\/a>‘s 40th\u00a0year in print. Camille seized the opportunity to ask poet, activist, musician, and rabble-rouser\u00a0Sparrow his thoughts on playing “Who Dies the Best” as a child growing up in New York.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The triumph on Eric and Bob’s faces reflect several days of scary, back-breaking work. Lyle\u00a0summed up on his Energy Blog with:\u00a0Moving Out<\/a><\/p>\n This 3,500 pound tank was no trifle. Even strapping it onto the flatbed was a tricky\u00a0endeavor. After it was secured, Lyle took it to the scrap yard in Sanford.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Thanks to Paula, Camille finally gets back in the saddle after more than two years with her feet on the ground. Ride along here: Riding with Paula<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Newly-bearded Bob is dwarfed by his okra and roselle hibiscus in the Sunken Gardens of Moncure.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Also at the Sunken Gardens, our Scuppernong grapes are coming along nicely as is the Flying Dragon Citrus (Citrus trifoliata) a gift from our friend\u00a0Linda Watson<\/a>,\u00a0author and Cook for Good food evangelist.<\/p>\n THIS MONTH’S QUOTES:<\/span><\/p>\n “In the United States we feel guilty for wasting time. Every American should repeat this affirmation” “I will waste more time today. I will be unproductive. I will become more and more like a birch tree.” Sparrow from Small Happiness in The Sun July, 2015<\/span><\/p>\n “At its most repugnant, the belief that women must be subjugated to the wishes of men excuses slavery, violence, forced prostitution, genital mutilation and national laws that omit rape as a crime. But it also costs many millions of girls and women control over their own bodies and lives, and continues to deny them fair access to education, health, employment and influence within their own communities.” – Jimmy Carter regarding why he left his church in 2009<\/span><\/p>\n The best way to locate a page or photo from past issues is with this handy Search Engine<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Get the back story via our blog at Plastic Farm Animals<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n The suffocating dog days of this Southern Summer involved setting up a new office, some very gritty work, a bit of horse play, gaping at pollinators, an evening with The Sun, giant okra and Bob’s new look. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n LEGITIMACY <\/p>\n \n We have an office at The Plant!
