Hello,
Today we went to the store and got
some naked apples, potatoes, and some naked beets. Just for good measure we
bought naked soap. Just what is all this naked stuff you ask? It is produce
that is not packaged. We are trying, at least from time to time, to make our
lives a little less wasteful. The garden is perfect for that, but purchasing
bare produce is another step in that direction. Since these items were also
organic and local the bill is higher, but we are also trying to realize that we
hurt many things when we spend carelessly.
It is hard to have such a frugal background
and standards that do not live well in that fence. Definitely a small war zoon
inside. With no children at home, both of us working part time, and social
security, we are quite able to meet the expense. We will often donate to causes
that help create a better world for many and I have decided this fits in that
area. Leroy seems to agree, but then he might have been there before I was able
to even think of it.
The naked soap is a piece of soap
without a wrapper of any kind. I am not sure how it gets to the store, but
hopefully just in a box. We do have to use a small paper bag for the produce.
So that is some waste, but it is at least recyclable. I also try to reuse it at
home.
Leroy did some more trimming trees out
of the hedge and I joined him after my online meeting. He gets quite tired
doing this but feels that he has accomplished something when done.
I read this over and it looks I as if /.preached
a sermon, but I am going to let it be. You do not have to read it if you don’t
want to.
Paula
