Mercy mercy Me.
image from cnn.comThe Marvin Gaye hit from the first earth day,seems apropos as all eyes turn on Louisiana and the Gulf of Mexico.
"Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be
No, no
Oil wasted on the oceans and upon our seas
Fish full of mercury
Oh, mercy mercy me
Oh, things ain't what they used to be.."
The Nature Conservancy has provided an invaluable resource for tracking the crisis at www.blog.nature.org It is great website for all things green.
Our hearts and prayers go out to the region, as they brace for disaster. And we wonder why it needs to be called an "enviromental disaster", and when did "environmentalism" become as bad a word as "feminism"? And what is with that anyways. What we have in common is greater than our differences. Shouldn't we just work toward making this a better world for us all and future generations?

Little Big Night
The frogs have started their treck! Tonight on Weymouth and Pond Streets we saw a few frogs making there way to the vernal ponds. Hopefully the salamanders will be out soon!
We think a late night spring treck into the woods in 2011 may be in order! Mark your calendars, and start buying thermal underwear and wellies!
