RECYCLING WAS A LEARNING EXPERIENCE, KNITTING TONIGHT TO CATCH UP!

Wow!!!! Went to our county recycle center today for a tour. Eyes are wide open more now than before. Amazing! Do you recycle? Some? All? None?
Consider that everything you throw away in your kitchen and bathroom can be recycled! If you have a baby or know someone who does, by using cloth diapers at least $300.00 a month can be saved. Isn't that amazing? With just a little vinegar and baking soda the odor will be eliminated and a little tlc will keep them good as new baby after baby, after baby, after baby!
Recycle your camera batteries, tvs, electricals, cardboard, metal, old windows, wood, everything.
Compost your food or simply place it in a container and take it to your recycle center too!
Speaking of composting. I was told today about placing cardboard down onto the ground where you want to compost. Add your grass clippings, food (no oils), more cardboard and paper and watch your compost turn into the most amazing chunk of ground! I didn't know worms like cardboard, did you?
Consider buying a plastic trashcan. Cut a hole in the middle, using a piece of wire mess place it over the hole. Purchase a water spout and apply it to the botton side and you have saved a lot of money on your water bill for watering the grass, garden, house plants and more!

TO MARKET, TO MARKET TO FIND A FAT "HEIRLOOM TOMATO"

We're off tomorrow to find a big huge heirloom tomato for the sake of the seeds. Going to start the winter growing indoors so need to find a tomato. Have the onion, lettuce, radish and a few herbs for the winter indoor garden. I'm excited.
Been researching the black plastic idea for the windows this winter. Will try to cut back on expensive heating by using black plastic in hopes that it will help heat us a little.

FINALLY BACK ONLINE!

After 10 days of no computer, I'M BACK!!!!
Changed over to AT&T and Direct TV, yes, I bundled~ well, it took a lot and still have received billing in two different account numbers so will tackle that later today. Yee gads, can't they get things right? Too many 'passing the buck' and not doing their job' as my Mother would say. Twice they showed up to install the Direct TV, then they called 15 minutes later to schedule an appointment to install the Direct TV after the 2nd guy left. Then lots of grief and phone calls to get the computer set up. But finally, here I am. Do you ever have those problems?
Saw a great email about someone having to do a pee test before getting their paycheck. Amazing! Simply amazing!
Knitting, yes, I've been knitting.
Next Monday will take Mom to the State Fair. She knits socks and more. But for the fair they ask her to bring her socks and demonstrate knitting. We go along so she doesn't have to drive herself.
Today, I'm going to knit after working on painting my bathroom. Started it about 2 weeks ago. Didn't like the paint once I started. But, decided that people could use it the color I picked. They can just go in and get their job over with and get out. Adjust their eyes once they get into the hallway and go on with their day! I'm leaving the ceiling and walls a deep, rich, and dark, dark, blue. David says it looks, well, let's put it this way, he has his own bathroom!!! It's the original color I wanted and I'm keeping it. Oh not to mention that I'll need to tone it down with a white trim, maybe add a little yellow towel or something. But for sure, will tone it down somewhat!
Back to your day and try to get something done myself.
Have a great Weekend!!!!
