Earth Day 2013

Earth Day is April 22nd, this year. Two years ago I was given a Dog Wood sapling on Earth Day, that I've happily nurtured and just recently the little bugger was re-potted by my husband, to a nicer and bigger pot. One day it'll find a home when I decide where I'd like to put her for life. 

I also love our new town. They give recycling buckets and pick up once a week. Ours is always full :-)

I have yet to set it up, but am slowly trickling my little 'novelties' to their places. Hey you just can't write without your Wonder Woman key chain and your pink bunny soul candy dispenser(Bleach - Japanese Anime) :-D, well I can't at least Hehehehe.
I teased him by saying "happy wife, happy life" LOL. (Guess he got sick of hearing me mumbling about a foot of work space on each side of my keyboard *Grins*)
