go green when you can...

want to see what's in my bag?
got any idea?

a 2 liter coke bottle...
washed out and the top cut off...
why? might you ask...

thinking spring here and planning ahead...
to cover my tomato and pepper plants...
frost won't get them and the bunnies won't eat them either...
thunder in February brings frost in May...
or so they say...
covering all my bases here...

and don't throw the top away!
a free funnel with every purchase...
great for pouring a bag of bird seed into a upcycled plastic jug...
great for putting oil and transmission fluid in a vehicle...
gas in the mower...
and you can throw it away without guilt, cuz you got more!

had a super day yesterday, but going so much slower today...
lost my energy...
so going to simple things today...
like making up poop boxes for the babies...
we are doing steaks, baked potatoes and salad for dinner...
got a chicken in the oven for chicken and noodles for supper...
going to mash some potatoes to go with it, too...
we got a good two hours of sleet very early this morning...
but the 10-15 inches of snow is just a tiny trace...
and now they have down sized it for the 5th time this morning to 1-3...
its tracking south...
so sorry for all of you that are going to get in instead of us now...
but, YEAH! for me!
ok, time to get the steaks on...
have a great Sunday and be a blessing to someone...
;)

Tete, You are so clever. I love those ideas. I can tell you now, there have been many times where I could have used a funnel. You know when I shoveled this morning , it was a good 6 inches of snow...but as the day went on it melted down a bit..got heavier but not so deep. I do not think it's going to start back up from the weather map I just saw. Hooray girl. Hope tomorrow , you have more energy...I am pooped out from shoveling the driveway. xoxoxo,Susie

I love those funnels, we keep a couple of bottles hidden away for the times we need them.
We have sleet, and ice on the trees, but nothing like a month ago, when the ice coated trees fell, here.

Your menu sounds great! I do not know about you but the cold weather makes me want to eat....darn it! I am determined to loose weight...I know when springs gets here I will stay outside more.... I love the recycle ideas...I hope to get some things in the ground for a garden this year...Blessings!

Good uses for some of that ding-dang-plastic.

Glad you didn't get the full brunt of the storm. Even though you did get sleet. Ugh.....

Stay in... Stay warm...
