Earth Day
Earth Day is my birthday and I received a great gift from the Italian Consulate in the US yesterday. I have been working diligently for four years gathering documents for application for dual citizenship for myself and my 2 kids (my husband can apply once I have a passport). Yesterday, my application was finally accepted after 3 different rejections! This was the greatest gift I could’ve received. As you know if you’ve read my Italy Retreat Blog, I am passionate about all things Italian.
I’ll write more about this tomorrow, but wanted to celebrate Earth Day too by sharing this wonderful video by Aqualise that my daughter, Grace, sent to me.
May we take care of planet Earth on this day and always. Please watch the beautiful video. What do you do to preserve our planet?

Because they were grown during the winter months, even though it’s mid-April in the midwest, I came home with cucumbers, zucchini, carrots, chard, basil, bok choy, huge romaine and red-leafed lettuce and chinese cabbage and cauliflower. The flavors and tenderness of each vegetable were sublime. The other cool note for earth day is that all the greenhouses use energy from the one windmill on the property. They produce enough power that they sell some back to the power company!
22 years ago, Earth Day was born, in 1970 on my birthday, April 22 when I was 17 years old. My birthday wish is twofold: One is huge. (more…)
