*Our restaurant server tonight thought it would be cute to give everyone animal crackers because they had no birthday cake at the famous BBQ joint. No, it’s not my birthday. It’s a friend’s birthday, and he chose the BBQ joint. And his plastic knife broke, thereby flinging baked beans all over his pants. See the evil that is plastic utensils?

So, here are the green posts I admired tonight:

Over at brave new leaf, there’s a post about stuff that falls off boats and ends up tooling around the ocean: Ocean Waves, Plastic Graves

Zem Joaquin at ecofabulous offers the post I love getting NUDE!

Linette at Mother Earth’s Garden wrote an intriguing and important post: What is bee colony disorder? How could it affect you?

Alison at Daily Tomorrow recently blogged about solar-powered toys for kids of all ages.

At Organic picks, I loved Cindy C’s post about Pottery Barn: A Green Room? I also have conflicting feelings about this company that sends me 200-page catalogs and makes it difficult to get off the mailing list. (Catalog Choice is supposed to be taking care of that for me right now.)

The animal crackers are gone now. Happy reading.

My Valentine is

To the Earth

When I was little

and had no Valentine,

you were still mine.

Even later when

I became an annoying

teenager,

you hung around.

And now, as I grow older,

I have the dream

you’ll always be well and green.

Happy Valentine’s Day Earth.

Now, it’s time to stop talking about myself and post!
