It’s 50 and raining today but let’s hope next weekend is GREAT because there are a lot of interesting things happening – all on Saturday the 21st!

First the plug – the Longfellow Sustainability Book Group meets next Saturday from 10:30 to noon at Peace Coffee. We’re reading section 2 of the Transition Handbook – the part on The Heart. Don’t worry if you haven’t read it yet, just show up to listen and discuss.

Plant stuff: If you joined the Southside Food Hub, there is another plant pickup starting at 10 am at Powderhorn Park. If you signed up for trees at the city sale, you can pick up your tree between 7 am and 3 pm at the Minneapolis Impound Lot. And the Longfellow Garden Group plant swap from 11 am to 1:30 pm at Sanford Junior High, west parking lot.

Suffering a solar let-down now that the Living Green Expo is done? Check out the Solar Boat Regatta at Lake Phalen in St. Paul. Sponsored by the Minnesota Renewable Energy Society, the boat builders include middle school and high school students, as well as individual inventors. Races start at 10 am and continue into the afternoon.

If you’re up for a road trip and have always wondered what goes on inside a dome home, there is a tour of dome homes, new and old, ranging from 1 & 2 bedrooms to large 4 & 5 bedroom homes. The tour is free but you do need to pre-register at Natural Spaces Domes.
