Friends,
Sadly, you missed the Earth Fair in my little town last weekend. I know what you’re thinking, “of course! everybody loves a good hemp-wearing hippie show!” but that wasn’t really the scene. Nobody was standing on a soapbox warning of the end of days. There were more forest rangers/Bureau of Land Management managers/firemen offering free trees and helpful tips on raking up dead leaves. The county recycling people were also there giving away a remarkable amount of swag. More stuff to recycle later, I guess. Job security!
Sure, the crafty people were there. Lots of jewelry (polished rocks are from earth. -ed), and an Idyllwild fixture, textiles woven from unexpected fibers! Fancy a satchel made of Golden Retriever fur? Alpaca and dryer lint cap perhaps? People, these things are from NATURE™!
Then there were the freakishly large green onions, grown organically on Monster Island, apparently. Besides being delicious, you only need one. Very efficient.
Thanks Earth!
