The sun was beautiful this morning. I
bask in its warmth, light and positives. Oh no, a negative! Dust was suddenly
visible on some furniture that had been missed when cleaning. The good thing is
that those dust motes could be eliminated from our living space. I just did not
want to see that something had been missed and perhaps should be dealt with
while still visible.
Because the sun was so nice and the
temperature, for at least ten days, is predicted to be above freezing, the
poinsettias are now outside enjoying the outdoors. They were joined by the four
amaryllis pots as well as one spider plant. The impatiens that have lived in
jars all winter to become seriously root entangled in the water, have been cut
off with the possibility of roots growing and a later transplant to the outdoors.
I like the plants, but I am happy to move them out and give us more space in
our environment.
Yesterday on the walk home from church
we found three plastic bags plastered against a fence with the wind smacking
them. We picked them up and gave them a new purpose in life by picking up trash
on the one block that we had yet to cover. We did not fill the bags, but I suspect
one would have been full if combined. We had picked up a large bag from the
city’s one bag challenge to clean up the streets. We dumped the contents of the
bags into that bag and will take a walk from time to time with those rescued
bags and continue filling the challenge bag which is larger than I want to drag
around with me. Unexpectedly helping on Earth day! Our neighborhood clean up
days were first postponed and then cancelled because of snow. Yesterday was a
perfect day to be out picking up debris.
