#HaikuADay #HaikuHive

When I was driving along Hwy 19 in Kona yesterday there was a family of dark brown goats (males, females, kids) just casually walking down the side of the highway. Apparently they are feral& pretty common but their casual stroll captured my attention & inspired today‘s haiku:

Goat Gang 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐

Brown goat parade struts
Like they own the whole highway—
Cruisin‘ Kona style.

Deciding what to eat for dinner & making the best food choices is certainly a dilemma. 🤔💭

🌕🌕🌕🌕🌖 Definitely better than Ishmael, much more engaging dialogue and a better understanding of the characters and setting. I did feel the need to dock a small amount for personal preference because of the slump it left me on halfway through the book. I wasn't expecting that turn in the story, and it honestly didn't appeal to me at all, just made it seem boring.

Started this one a few days ago. I like it a lot more than Ishmael, that's for sure! This book so far is like Ishmael with better back-and-forth dialogue and characterization.

Anyone who remotely cares about how food is sourced, grown, or made should read this book.

MaGoose Yes! I read this a while ago and bought a new copy not long ago to read again. Try reading Real Food: What to Eat and Why by Nina Planck and FoodWISE: A Whole Systems Guide to Sustainable and Delicious Food Choices by Gigi Berardi. 4mo
AVChrista @MaGoose Thanks for the suggested reads! 4mo

#CoverStories #Barn Spin wool , make cheese, make bricks ,cure bacon! My grandparents could make almost everything, I have always been interested in the old folkways. If we keep going the dystopian way we all may need books like this !

sarahbarnes I‘ve always been interested too. And agreed. 6mo
Eggs I can totally relate - my parents were born in 1910 and 1913, and were old-school self-sufficient! 6mo
Leftcoastzen @Eggs people didn‘t have much of a choice back then , no money to pay for it even if you could find people to do it 6mo

Eggs @Leftcoastzen I used to make soap, candles, bread, yogurt, clothing, slipper socks, scarves, quilts, grow gardens, can/preserve and more. But it‘s really rough on the hands and wrists!!! 6mo
Leftcoastzen @Eggs Wow , that‘s amazing ! Also, that‘s why people got worn out at a younger age . There wasn‘t alternatives . I helped my grandmother can , and we made butter together in a large jar size churn . Even she said , bread takes too much time ! I‘ll just buy it at the grocery store. Once it was readily available!😁 (edited) 6mo
Eggs @Leftcoastzen Awesome 👏🏻 6mo

"The plain fact is that the planet does not need more successful people. But it does desperately need more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers, and lovers of every kind. It needs people who live well in their places. It needs people of moral courage willing to join the fight to make the world habitable and humane. And these qualities have little to do with success as we have defined it.”
