wonderful reminders. thanks!
Love this collection of sayings...
What a fabulous list! How to share it with neighbors who go straight from their car into their house, and reverse the process in the morning? Maybe I could chalk tips, one or two at a time, onto our driveway for their consideration! LOL!
Good luck Greeen Sheeep! Sorry to hear about the deployment. I was once a military wife too. I wonder if you live on post? If so, I'd love for you to discuss if that makes it easier or harder to live a green lifestyle. When we lived at Ft. Benning 10+ years ago, the rules about gardening were extremely strict and the commissary didn't carry any organic goods. I hope all that has changed. Hang in there!
Great thoughts and ideas...now just to do it each day...
I second that motion.
