    There are over 1800 people participating, and each and every one has a story about how these little changes are making a difference. Just think if 1800 people just saved one gallon of water a day for 30 days. That’s 54,000 gallons of water. That’s about 20 fire trucks worth of water. You all make a difference e,

    It’s been a wonderful day, and I’m looking forward to a quiet weekend. I’m house sitting for a friend and that includes feeding the birds, raccoons, and deer. Four baby raccoons today!

    How can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place -- your deep knowledge of and appreciation for your surroundings?

    When I go for a hike, life slows down. I only have birds to listen to, frogs, the smell of the prairie on a hot afternoon... it makes everything else I do calmer and less stressful. There's a reason that we go for a walk when we need to "cool down."

    Consider how many hours of sleep you get now. How would you like to shift your sleep patterns? What changes did you make to improve your sleep, and how did they affect your day?

    I would really like to get up earlier in the morning, but I love being up late on cool summer nights. I wish four hours of sleep was all I needed.
