happy first day of spring. great news in this morning's new york times...the first family will break ground today on an organic garden on the white house's south lawn. yay!! excerpt and images below (thanks nyt!):
"Whether there would be a White House garden has been more than a matter of landscaping. It’s taken on political and environmental symbolism as the Obamas have been lobbied for months by advocates who believe that growing more food locally could lead to healthier eating and lessen reliance on huge industrial farms that use more oil for transportation and chemicals for fertilizer. In the meantime, promoting healthful eating has become an important part of Mrs. Obama’s agenda."
