In honor of Earth Day, some presents for Our Mama and, eventually, the neighborhood critters:
Emily's tiny rose bush
Blueberries?
The Pookie Pine - We planted this one for my mom, who isn't able to plant trees herself. See the small pile of stones? Yeah, there's a layer of 'em about 4 inches under the grass. Grrr!
GreenDimes: My mom sent this to me and I thought I'd pass it along. Pretty cool, huh?
I just found this web site to deal with my huge junk mail problem. The company
is called GreenDimes. For a dime a day they get your name off direct mailing
lists and keep it off, and plant a tree for you every month.
Solving my junk mail problem is great for me and helps the environment at the
same time. Did you know that a typical American household receives about 70
pounds of junk mail a year? (I think it's more at my house.) Add it up and
that's 100 million trees chopped down each year to make junk mail, most of which
we don't want and ends up in landfills.
So if you want to stop your mailbox from overflowing, see your kitchen counter
again, and save some trees, take a look at GreenDimes:
