Do what you can......

I am getting ready for my garden for this year.  Yes, it's early but I need to be prepared.  When a person is stuck with the dreaded Styrofoam what do you do??  I am using some the held meat flat or leftovers came home in as trays under seedlings.

This is a take home box I cut in half.

I also recently purchased some grapes that were in a plastic "clam shell" type container.  It came with holes already put in for me.

All ready for some seed starter mix and a styrofoam tray underneath.

If you stop for a second and look at your trash before you toss it, who knows what glorious ideas you may come up with!!!

Keep thinking and preserving our planet for generations to come!!

Trees, trees, oh wonderful trees

A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.

	To produce each week's Sunday newspapers, 500,000 trees must be cut down.
	Recycling a single run of the Sunday New York Times would save 75,000 trees.
	If all our newspaper was recycled, we could save about 250,000,000 trees each year!

Trees keep us alive, we all learned that in elementary school.  That in itself says it all - elementary.  Basic.  We need them not just for the air we breathe but as a thing of beauty, something to look at and think.

Below is a picture I took in Yellowstone National Park - I found the roots of this tree breathtaking. 

When my daughter died in 2002, I planted a tree for her.  It gives me a sort of connection with her.  I can sit under her tree and meditate.  So much good comes from trees.

This photo is of me with the tree just before it was planted.
