Sometimes you meet unusual people in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. Make that in the tri-corner MA/NY CT and many other places...colleges (some moreso than others such as Vassar, UCONN, Yale and of course any open minded caring, creative community. Plenty of people are full of good intentions and even helpful ambitions (win-win situations and more.) I met someone who knows David Adelson fairly well at a speaking group about ten years ago in the Berkshires of MA.

This response to a talk about composting coming up in Sharon CT on June 30th, 2018, got me thinking of some 'heads up' tips to be safe and practical first while composting and equally so when composing a sensible and team-oriented life plan with agreements and networking.

Composting is great..but it's important to consider who else might enjoy your organic cuisine...raccoons, foxes and maybe a bear? With the barrel maybe that's safe enough but an open pile may attract critters...oh yes, skunks and more so put it far enough from your home so you feel 'at home in your house and yard...'

Happy Summer Solstice from here to Stonehenge in England and other hot spots to 'welcome in the summer, or the longest day of the year.' One article online reminded folks that 'their shadow will be the shortest during the year on the solstice at noon.' Maybe take a picture and remind yourself you will be going 'up' from there. In case that's seeming like a late date, meteorlogically summer begins June 1st and runs through August (yes, to the 31st.) Then Fall begins meteorlogically on September 1st.
