Spring! I see signs of Spring!!!

I have decided that winter is OVER! Pear trees are blooming. Forsythia is showing yellow. Daffodils are out. I hung laundry out on the line yesterday. Yep, spring is here. Boy am I glad.

I have not been successful in my attempts to find employment; however, I have not given up. As a matter of fact, I have an appointment here in about 1 1/2 hours. I know, I should be getting ready for that instead of here writing. Oh well, I am who I am and I know what I know, they will either like it or not.

How can I help the earth to be more eco friendly? That was the question on my mind one night this last week. It just kept running around and around in my head. You hear all the time that one person can make a difference, so I figured it was time for this one person to do their part. Soooo, I came up with this idea that I thought was pretty good. I have decided to make “Market Bags” out of 100% cotton and give 2 bags to each household in my subdivision. I knit and crochet and tried making one and it took me less than 1 day (along with all the other odds and ends that I did) to finish a bag. So maybe, this time this fall, there will be 120 less plastic bags used on a weekly basis in the neighborhood. You know, that means 480 bags a month, and 6,720 bags a year! Maybe I can do something. I am trying to enlist the help of 3 of my neighbors who also knit and crochet. At first pass they thought I was crazy, but by the end of the evening, they were helping me create the pattern and locate the yarn. Powers of persuasion.

Well, guess for today, I need to quit and go get dressed to impress. What a joke.

Namaste,

Deborah
