GREEN ACRES VILLAGE: First 2023 Patio Event, “Hardening Starts,” Extra Work Party tomorrow!

April 12, 2023

Let’s start with the last item mentioned. And here’s why! This week we have taken out the larger baby plants to “harden off” them outside. But . . . some of them, namely kale, tomato and peppers are now so robust that every time I walk by I hear them screaming! Truly! I’m not kidding!

“Please, please, put me in the ground! My roots are getting way too cramped!”

Okay okay!

Tomorrow morning, Marita and I, and whoever wants to join us, will plant all three. The kale will be fine, but we will cover the tomatoes and peppers with little tunnels just in case it freezes again.

Meanwhile, yesterday evening, out on the patio for the first time this year, another event not on the usual weekly schedule: Tuesday dinner (i.e., not Thursday Community Dinner), for friends of Andreas Iaonnides, here for one week from Ireland, where he is on a faculty in Cork that teaches piano. He will join three others for a concert in Columbus, Indiana, 45 minutes from here, on Saturday. Tuesday was his one free evening.

BTW: Next year, he moves to Dublin, to join the faculty at “The Conservatoire,” he drawls haughtily, winking. And adds, “There’s a direct flight to Dublin, from Indianapolis.” Hmmmm . . .

Dear Andreas lived in Green Acres Permaculture Village, for I think, four years. It’s impossible not to love him. I took his picture out on the patio alone, but it didn’t come out. So all you get is to see him on the far right of this group shot.

Okay. Found this soulful photo he uses as a professional pianist. BTW: while in residence here, getting his doctoral degree in music from Indiana University, he was also reading all of Dostoyevsky’s novels. Are you surprised?

 

 

 

Here’s the upcoming concert, in case you’re in the area. It’s one of the special concerts put on all year long to raise funds for the week-long classical music series set in rural Nashville Indiana that he and Annie Hawk, who also lived here back then, dreamed up during the plandemic. Rather than lapsing into depression and/or fear, they got busy! This August they will hold the third annual week-long Chamber Fest Brown County.

The first two series were so successful that they now have world-class musicians asking to be included.

This morning I was outside watering. And guess what! Tulips! Planted two years ago, just now came up for the first time. 

And, for the second year, this time spreading, trillium! Brought in by the birds originally, and, I presume, spread by what ( Laura Bruno told me) is called “the squirrel relocation program.” Also note the single bluebell, upper right. This is the first time bluebell has appeared.

Okay, okay. Just went back outside to get bluebell’s portrait, by itself . . . Note the trillium leaf poking into the left edge.

So glorious, SPRING.

 

Overpopulation? Population Collapse? WHICH IS IT?

April 11, 2023

 

Last night I happened to watch an Elon Musk video where he pilloried those who assume the planet is heading towards overpopulation, and says, actually, it’s the opposite, that we’re headed towards underpopulation, population collapse. That all you have to do is count the number of adult diapers compared to the number of baby diapers. In another memorable remark, he said that he’d rather go out with a bang (nuclear war) than a whimper (slow-moving population collapse).

Sounds extreme, eh? This morning I found another video that features, not just Elon but two others, including Jordan Peterson, all with the same message.

And their message doesn’t even take into account the results of the last three years of the amazingly successful global psy-op that threw most people into abject fear, terrorized to the point where they slavishly offered up their rolled-up sleeved arms to “science.”

 

 

Thus, did the slave drivers, who, you bet, were likely not vaxxed, ignite a seemingly sudden, but actually long planned, intentional depopulation of the world:  post-jab death, disabilities, sudden drastic diseases, plus infertility stats are increasingly being rolled out. Not to mention this: vaxxed women who breast feed their babies are thereby vaxing them. 

 

I used to be one of those terrified of over-population, inwardly sneering whenever I came across a large family, thinking them either ignorant or selfish. My former “stance” fits right in with lies still told in the environmental movement, for example, that carbon needs to be reduced — when carbon dioxide is what plants need to flourish! And yes, of course, I thought: too many humans are ruining the planet. When did that psy-op begin? In 1968, with Paul and Anne Ehrlich book The Population Bomb? As a good environmentalist, I be-LIE-ved it, indeed, thought it obvious — until last night.

Except: lately, I’ve found myself secretly applauding any couple who, despite increasingly apocalyptic warnings we are subjected to on a moment by moment basis, still decides to have a child. What a noble stance. What an act of courage. I applaud them.
