Joy and I headed to Memorial Park today for Pasadena's annual Earth Day Festival.
There was a display on Eaton Canyon wildlife (complete with live frogs and snakes) . . .
. . . free tote bags and soda from Whole Foods (huzzah for free stuff!) . . .
. . . a climbing wall . . .
. . . and a U.N. booth where you could make a unique bouquet.
I think Joy's favorite part was the train ride.The highlight for me was a display on a local family who are trying to be as self-reliant and eco-friendly as possible. They've installed solar panels, eliminated all possible electrical appliances (except the fridge and TV), and—most appealing of all to me—they produce thousands of pounds of produce a year on their scant one-fifth acre of land. While their bike-powered blender is a little more eco than I'm prepared to go, I am curious to learn more about their gardening techniques.

ewww i hate spam comments, you know you can delete those right?
looks like a great day was had by all. how fun!
You can also make people do that thing where they have to type the characters in the box. That keeps aways the spam bots.
Sigh . . . I delete them every time, but I hadn't seen any spam for a few days so I thought it might have stopped. Alas, not so.
I just deleted the two spam comments from this post, and I'll add the word ID feature so we don't see any more of them. Yeesh.
We love going to those too. This year we didn't go because we are still getting our other house ready to be sold, and putting this one together. hahha. Thanks for the link.
Looks like a fun outing. Maybe in a few years, Joy can try out the climbing wall!
