Life is Short and the World is Wide: All The Young Monx
http://wandering-fever.blogspot.com/2011/09/all-young-monx.html
Life is Short and the World is Wide. Sunday, September 4, 2011. All The Young Monx. Like a French provincial town transplanted to tropical paradise, Luang. Prabang sits nestled between the Mekong and Nam Kam rivers in north-central Laos, about 475km. north of the capital Vientiane. Luang Prabang's status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site has helped to preserve the crumbling, French-influenced architecture that lines the city's streets. The Lao have this great saying: "Same, same.but different! And it perfe...

Life is Short and the World is Wide: February 2010
http://wandering-fever.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Life is Short and the World is Wide. Tuesday, February 23, 2010. Under the heavy blanket of snow that covered our cold frames we happily found some resilient greens. I'm hesitant to say that they were thriving, but they were certainly existing. Even if they are a little too icy to harvest, the hope is that they will remain alive, though dormant, for the rest of the winter and bounce back as the weather starts to warm in the spring.

Life is Short and the World is Wide: Visas in Vientiane
http://wandering-fever.blogspot.com/2011/12/visas-in-vientiane.html
Life is Short and the World is Wide. Thursday, December 1, 2011. Sits on the Mekong River, about 18km from the First Friendship Bridge that established an easy place to cross into Thailand. As the biggest city in Laos, it's also the economic center of the country. But it doesn't show it's size: the traffic is mild by SE Asian standards and the air is breathable. French. It's actually kind of refreshing after 6 weeks and nothing but indecipherable characters. That evening we hit up a rooftop bar along the...

Visit OurHabitatGarden.org (for desktop and iPad) for LOTS more info, photos, and resources for creating your own habitat garden. Wednesday, July 20, 2011. Finally - more monarch eggs. So far this year, we've raised only eight monarchs, and we've seen only one or two adult butterflies (except our own that we released). Finally, today I saw a monarch butterfly and I discovered ten eggs! Links to this post. Saturday, July 02, 2011. I'm sure there's more than one in our yard since we have lots of bumblebees...

Life is Short and the World is Wide: We go zip!
http://wandering-fever.blogspot.com/2011/08/we-go-zip.html
Life is Short and the World is Wide. Wednesday, August 10, 2011. In keeping with the gibbon's airborne, treetop existence, we spend the bulk of our two days riding zip lines high above the forest canopy and trekking through dense jungle. It's both breath-taking and exhausting, with some zip lines crossing 6-700 meters from one high point on the ridge to another. Zipping to the tree house. View of the jungle. It's probably the most beautiful shower I have ever taken. I spotted a gibbon. Gorilla in the mist.

Life is Short and the World is Wide. Thursday, July 14, 2011. Chiang Mai, Part II - Muay Thai and Bamboo Tattoos. We wake up super early and hop on our scooter around 7AM, hoping to make the most of our 24hour rental.and avoid the early morning traffic. We fill the tank, pound Nescafe coffee drinks in a can (on vacation we eat/drink things we never do at home! The view from our coffee paradise. The second shop we visit, Deja Vu Tattoo. With a few hours to kill before the Muay Thai. It was quite a sight.

Stewardship Garden: Monarchs released today

Visit OurHabitatGarden.org (for desktop and iPad) for LOTS more info, photos, and resources for creating your own habitat garden. Monday, September 05, 2011. At the beginning of summer, I was beginning to think that we might not see too many monarchs, that it could really be the beginning of the end of the migration phenomenon. I released them this morning just outside our back door, so they're protected somewhat by being under the eaves. This side of the house doesn't get the northern or western win...
