Many things come to mind when you stop to realize this is
Underground America Day. Actually, it’s all about eco-friendly, earth-sheltered
architecture. The holiday was founded by architect Malcolm Wells on this day in
1974. His homes and buildings were often burrowed into hillsides and designed to
harness the alternative energies of solar and geothermal. You can even garden on their
roofs.
(I wonder how underground houses built in 1974 have stood the test of
time? Here in Tornado Alley, I wouldn't mind living underground.)
So to celebrate,
I’m going to head on out
to the garden
right now
and burrow into the earth!
Maybe stomp a few mole tunnels
on my way out there!
Oh, here's a picture...
from the Mother's Day cook-out yesterday evening.
A perfectly beautiful day.
That's the garden in the background.
Thank you for the wonderful wine sampling, Weezer!
Kids, glad you could be here!
Husband, thanks for the good,
down-home, outdoor campfire cooking!
And Dog... leave the bees alone!
