Green As You Can Be

posted by jax1215 on Nov 25

As I was thinking about what all I had to be thankful about this year, I thought about just how lucky we are to be able to choose “green” products. Never before have there been so many different choices.

You can have Organic turkeys or Tofurky, fresh organic veggies and if you are really lucky like my friend Tipper, you can serve food right from your garden.

Instead of buying a center piece for the table, decorate with naturals from your yard. When the kids were small, I would send them out to pick a centerpiece.  Or you could purchase small gourds from your local farmers market. They could be composted later. (save the seeds to grow your own next year)

I read somewhere that you should cook only what you intend to eat at that meal but for some reason, I can’t do that. I need Thanksgiving leftovers.  We’re going to my son’s for dinner but I’m taking re-usable containers to bring home some leftovers.

Remember to compost table scraps.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Take time to give thanks for all the wonderful things in our lives, especially our families.

A couple of weeks ago I was driving thru a parking lot in town and came upon an unusual site. I had to stop and take a picture. This “home” had it all including wheels to take them on to new sights. I wish I could have met the person or persons inside. I’ll bet they have wonderful stories about there little home. Jax

When I craft, I never have everything I need in one place. Makes me so crazy. I discovered a cool way to recycle, reuse and be organized. I just put everything I need for a project in a cardboard drink carrier and off I go. One more thing saved from the landfill.
