the dream: an urban medow : part 4 & The Lorax

It's not about what it is, it's about what it can become. - Dr Seuss

It seems extremely poignant that on the evening I released the bulk of my seed bombs we watched THE LORAX DVD!

I had no idea what it was about (I can't remember the story book at all!)

Its a great kids story with a STRONG moral,  set in Dr Seuss's wonderful imaginative world and a call to action! I'm definitely going to have it as one of the family favourites for my future kids.

So tonight I was humming the theme song while throwing the seed bombs . . . which have become my babies . . . I REALLY HOPE THEY GROW!! Because I care a whole awful lot!

I also realise tons of PINTEREST posts have been inspired by the movie

Such as;

this now makes sense! haha

"UNLESS someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not." - The Lorax.

Fingers Crossed my seed bombs continue to grow and inspire some hope for my beloved New Brighton.  Updates to come . . . in the mean time gather a bunch of children and read them The Lorax by Dr Seuss and if its a rainy day hire the DVD as well. Then, when the sun comes out Plant a Seed.

Wearing gloves; Roll a golf ball side handful of soil (adding a little water to the mix the get is "cluggy not sloppy"

With your finger, make a little hole in your bomb, add some seeds, then re-roll your ball (to pick up a small amount of seeds I just pressed my finger into the seed bowl and put one finger tip amount per ball)

Place seed bombs on Newsprint to "dry" and repeat . . .
