It is such a secret place, the land of tears.

For the record: I didn’t pose them. But I raised them, so I guess I’m still to blame.
The Crying Giant by Tom Otterness, in the Delaware Art Museum outdoor sculpture garden.
One-third of all food produced for human consumption
is lost or wasted each year.Americans waste more than 40% of their food.
One of the things that makes me crazy is wasting food (and money) in our own house, but I wonder how much gets tossed because it isn’t “perfect” enough to be sold in stores? How much ends up in the trash after school lunches? Ugh.
Are you a freak about using up all the food, like me?
Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature’s peace will flow into you as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow their own freshness into you, and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop off like autumn leaves.
-John Muir
