EARTH DAY

Today is Earth Day.  Last night G and I watched a two hour long episode of Nova about Climate and Weather.  Although I knew much of what the show was about, I didn’t know that trees held on to Carbon Dioxide, nor did I remember that the primary cause of the ocean warming is also Carbon Dioxide.  The show was fascinating.

We did our very small part at the Discovery Shop yesterday.  Our two day plant sale featured low water use plants.  These were all put in containers by two of our caring volunteers.   The ingenuity in potting them put a smile on my face.

While shoppers bought plants, I moved books around.  Most of the aeronautical books have sold, but few of the boat books.  I thought it would be the other way around.  And too, the cookbooks now have a bookcase of their own.  While I shuffled the volumes around, the plants moved out the door rapidly.  That children’s quilt was still there….at $3.00.  Of course I bought it.  Perhaps Zoe would like it.

• Himself:  Stomach fine.  Leg looking vastly better.  I’ll get him to take some of the stored cookbook donation to the shop for me.  He goes to work today then….
• Herself:  …to a show of an old friends work in Spanish Village.  I’ll go up to the Park with him.  Bought that quilt.  It was priced at $3.00.
• Reading: I bought the new Box but it is so negative that I’m reading “A Palm for Mrs. Polifax” instead.
• Watching:  National Geographic’s “One Strange Rock!”  Really good.
• Gratitude’s:  That I feel pretty good despite all the lifting yesterday.
