I have nothing new and exciting on my needles this week so I thought I show you my finished slippers for the Pink Slipper Project instead. I am reading Animal, Vegetable, Miracle, so far I find it pretty good, entertaining and informative. I do not completely agree with her though that it is not only the well-to-do people who can afford to buy locally. I would love to buy locally grown produce at the Farmer's Market regularly, but when you are on a tight budget it is difficult to pay twice as much for food just because it was grown in your own state. I also have a stack of gardening books from the library to look through and get advice and ideas for our garden. I am determined to do better this year, after last year's total disaster.

Love your point about buying local. Our Farmer's Market has raw milk: for $7.95 a gallon. When your household uses a gallon a day it just doesn't fit into the budget. I have got to find a goat or cow!
Warmly,

I have read most of Barbara Kingsolver, but not the one you have. Let me know what you think of it.
Those slippers are great! Garter makes such warm and cozy slippers ....
It is a wonderful book--read it a few years ago and it changed the way I think. I hear what you are saying though; we have one local grower who sells his organic produce at our market for decent prices but WFs is outrageously priced.
