Good evening Steem fam!

I am inspired by @raj808 to take part in @funditian's Contest of the Month-- (see his post here) which asks us to create an inspired heart design!

Here are the other participation rules from their post:

• Use two tags on the Steemit post consisting "fundition" and "oneheart"
• Resteem this post so the others can see
• Write down a short description about the photo in the post
• Comment your post to know that you participated
• Only one entry per person
• The image has to contain the "Fundition.io" text written on a paper, wall or whatever is handy for you and depends on your creativity you have a chance to get a bigger upvote. (Keep in mind we don't approve/support illegalities like writing with graffiti on public buildings or other things like that. Stay Creative and Clean)
• Add in your entry post the Participation rules and a link to the original contest post from Fundition

Recently I've become a part of Project Giving, which is Steemit's first NGO. I highly recommend that you check out & follow their page @projectgiving. It's one of the most inspiring things I've connected with on the Steem blockchain.

Like Raj, we're also inspired to use vegetables to convey our interpretation of Fundition's heart logo!

(It's also what we have most of!)

Without further ado, here is our entry into this month's @funditian contest:

We made the heart out of potatoes we dug from our garden and clipped zinnia flowers :) It's been a busy summer for us on the homestead and we have a lot of vegetables we're eating daily. This seemed appropriate!!

@Fundition is a next-generation, decentralized, peer-to-peer crowdfunding and collaboration platform on the Steem blockchain!

Tomorrow we will be sharing another episode of our Permaculture Hour on the Global Homesteading Collective's (GHSC) Discord. Last week we had our intro show and this week, we're starting with the first out of 12 Permaculture Principles.

Tomorrow's Episode will focus on the Principle:

Observe and Interact

This is one of my favorite principles and really, in my opinion, one of the most important.

After the episode airs on the GHSC Discord (click here to join), I will also be sharing this initiative as a part of Project Giving which seeks to educate and support sustainability efforts the world round. We @mountainjewel are so excited to be a part of this initiative, which we got connected to through the #sndboxsummercamp. We're not only thankful for all of those at @projectgiving who have been developing and supporting this idea for some time, but also for @sndbox for encouraging us all to use our time on the Steem blockchain for something bigger than ourselves.

@fundition is also up to supporting inspiring initiatives that help make the world a better place and @projectgiving has also had its initiatives supported through the #fundition efforts. It reinforces the belief that when we come together we can do great things!

So thankful to be a part (heart!)!

Here are some more flowerpower pics from the homestead that I took today! Growing our own food and beauty is one of the most sustainable acts that humans can be a part of.
