Lovely photos Lynn. I like the idea of small solutions. I recently had a rain barrel installed and am using the water for my indoor plants. In the warmer weather, I will use it to keep outdoor plants happier. It fills my soul every time I turn the spigot and reminds me of the rain barrels outside my grandparents' cabin, when I was little.
A very reasoned and compelling essay. If only more of us were as observant of natural systems! I think I am getting the idea that permaculture is really a sort of mindfulness (an overused word lately, I know, but it fits here).

I love my rain barrel too. Even with all the pollution here I feel better using rainwater for my indoor plants than tap water.

I definitely think of permaculture as a sort of mindfulness, but I don't think that's mainstream view.
