I&#8217;ve been delinquent in getting the next mission up because Mother Nature has not been cooperative with my video plans!  I shot some yesterday, but it was VERY windy and it made the audio kinda cruddy.  It&#8217;s more than me in my backyard, so I really do want you to see it.  [...]]]></description>

Although direct action with &#8220;Gaia-powers&#8221; makes for fun fiction, in the real world we have to employ different powers to make a difference.  And you, my friends, have the power to make a difference! Blogger, &#8220;Treehugger,&#8221; requested a &#8220;doing mission&#8221; vs. an &#8220;observing mission.&#8221;  She&#8217;s smart, we can love Gaia all we want, but unless [...]]]></description>

I went to hang laundry and was inspired to send you on a Gaia Mission involving spiders! Their webs are incredible creations. A web is made of silk that is strong, yet flexible. Mankind has yet to create a fiber as strong (in relation to its weight) as a spider&#8217;s web! Please don&#8217;t touch the [...]]]></description>

That means, you can still post your results for Mission #2 all day Saturday!  Check your email and/or the blog around 4pm on Sunday for Mission #3!  Can&#8217;t wait to read &#8216;em all &#8211; Lee

Explore the soundscape! You may want a partner for this mission; Lee explains in the video above.  There are a lot of ways to describe sound.  For example: &#8220;chiki bee bee bee&#8221; (chicadee)  Do your best-there&#8217;s no such things as the &#8216;correct spelling!&#8217;  It is important that YOU remember the sound [...]]]></description>
