Get Wild, Child: National Wildlife Week & the "National Day of Unplugging"

In case you didn’t know, this week- March 15th-21st- is National Wildlife Week, and I signed the pledge to “Be Out There.” (You should sign, too!) And the weather has cooperated so nicely; I can’t resist its siren song.

Tomorrow promises to be another glorious gift of a day, and as luck would have it, it is also the “National Day of Unplugging.” During daylight hours, anyway (I have to get work done SOMETIME) I’ll try to heed the principles:

— Avoid technology,
— Connect with loved ones,
— Nurture your health,
— Get outside,
— Avoid commerce,
— Light candles,
— Drink wine,
— Eat bread,
— Find silence and
— Give back.

Then I’ll come back to the computer and tell you about the monster of a week I’ve had.

How have you been spending these wonderful spring-y days? Anything good cooking this weekend?
