Quite frankly, I come by it rather honest though. My grandparents and parents used to always have gardens. One set of grandparents still does, I mean the whole shabang! Their garden is huge and impressive and they are close to 80!! That is what a life of activeness will get ya, good health in your years.
They all always hung out their clothes on the line. It is a great energy saver, which I like the fact that it makes my electric bill smaller more than anything else. I feel it is me doing my part to earn some money.
Levi hates this one, but I wait as long as possible before I kick on that air conditioner. It's windows open and attic fan on. I just tell him to take off some more clothes if he is that hot, in a totally non-risque context. Same in the winter, it's dress warmer around the house and use blankets, however I am more lenient with the heat usage because I am cold natured. Hmmmm, this makes me seem selfish. Maybe I should rethink this one.
These are just a few of the ways that I try to be earth friendly. I even plan to plant an apple tree on Earth Day this year. And believe me, If I could drive an electric car, I sooo would, but I wonder if two car seats would fit in the back of one of those things?
Oh oh, and one of the most important is I never ever ever litter. I can't stand it!!
I was actually traumatized by one of my Granny's when I was younger because after I would finish my Happy Meal or whatever other fast food I had when I was younger would be chucked out the car window. The whole bag!!! I never felt right about that, but never said anything. I mean, we wouldn't even be three miles from the house, and out the window it would go. Come on, wait for a trash can!! Oh Granny, I love ya! (This is not Granny with the garden, by the way :) )
This is my little garden. I had so many more things I wanted to plant, but obviously didn't eyeball the size right. Needless to say, this garden is going to grow yet again next year. I never account for all the spacing and hill making that is involved. I also have another spot farther out in the yard that is devoted entirely to watermelon. This will be my first attempt with fruit.
