In hard times it is sometimes difficult to think of abundance. Gardeners know about it. Sometimes we have a couple of items that don’t do well. Other items we have in abundance. Leaves may be trash to many people. When gardens need mulching they represent abundance. My little garden produces so much greens that I can give them away to whoever will take them and still have plenty. A friend told me a little while ago that his family wants kale to make kale soup for the day after thanksgiving. He asked if I had enough. I said, “Kale yeah!”
The leaves picked up on the side of the road are so full of acorns. The deer and the squirrels will love digging through them when the other stuff is gone. I cannot imagine a squirrel going hungry in or around Charlotte. It may be harder for the deer. They cannot always just walk out into the open and get what is available. There is plenty of browse available though.
There does not seem to be an abundance of money or work; but that means there is an abundance of time. That should increase the abundance of the garden and an abundance of opportunities for self improvement. Incidently the recession seems to be reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
