TERLINGUA MOON
December 23, 2024
by Terlingua Thinking Team
"Joy will find its way to you, maybe it’ll come with the morning dew, right where those flowers grew/Butterflies flew, and on their wings they always bring the kind of peace to ease your grieving/Love is gonna come again/Oh, love is gonna come again." -- Love Is Going to Come Again, by Jaimee Harris/Graham Weber
"Yea, we all could use a little mercy now/I know we don’t deserve it/But we need it anyhow/We hang in the balance/Dangle ‘tween hell and hallowed ground/Every single one of us could use some mercy now." -- Mercy Now, by Mary Gauthier

We welcome new vendors. Flea market items are also welcome. After all, reusing and up-cycling already existing items is smart and green.

DESERT PERMACULTURE
If you've noticed, Terlingua could use more shady places to park and sit. Even though this is a desert, it's not supposed to be this eroded and barren; sadly though, deforestation and over-grazing degraded the local ecology. Fortunately, permaculture can easily restore native tree and grass cover, and it can be done without irrigation, fertilizer, soil amendments, or additional plant material, believe it or not! Eco-Logic is a local business offering other locals a free written permaculture strategy or special on-site consultation to restore the landscape to ecological balance.
