More Recycling

This morning I slept in a little longer than I usually do and it felt good! I could tell it was going to be a nice day as I got up and saw that the sun was shining in the windows already.

Before eating breakfast I went outside and picked a couple handfuls of blueberries for my cereal and then emptied the dishwasher before I sat down to eat. After eating I put my bowl and spoon into the dishwasher and then sat down to read the paper and finish my coffee.

After I finished the paper I gathered all the paper, plastic and metal recycling and took it out to the recycling container. Since I had not had time to pick up all the apples yesterday I went back to gather them up, but surprisingly there where not a lot of them.

While I was out there I started going through all the "stuff" that was under the apple tree that had to do with potting. I use to have my potting bench set up there but I have since moved it but there are still a lot of old plant pots back there and I never will use all of them. So I saved out a few of each size and recycled the rest of them.

I even took the pots that I had used for container planting and dumped the dirt out of them and either recycled them or put the good ones together for use later. I also found some pots that I had some bulbs planted in that I took out and planted where the old apple stump was and recycled the pots.

Since I could now see what was there I gathered up some old Tiki torches and threw the bamboo into the yard debris and the metal fuel cans into the recycling. I even put an old barbecue into the recycling.

While I was in the front of the garage I gathered up the rest of the "stuff" that I had set next to the garage and either put it in the back, in the garage or recycled. By this time I was getting pretty worn out so I sat in the sun for a while and drank some of the water that I brought out earlier.

When I finally made it into the house it was almost noon so I went and brought the mail in. There was not much, about the only thing I kept was the credit union monthly statement. By the time I had gone through the mail and returned a phone call it was about time for me to make myself something for dinner.

I made my self a roast beef sandwich using some of the roast beef from yesterday's barbecue. I also made myself a salad with some dried cranberries and roasted walnuts on top. After I finished eating I gathered up my dishes and put them into the dishwasher.

Since I had the credit union statement in my hand I went and logged on to the credit union website and opened up my copy of Quicken and reconciled my savings and checking accounts.

Kathleen just came downstairs and wanted ideas for dinner so I suggested that she use some of the roast beef and some potatoes, so she did. Well it is time for dinner so I am just going to post this and have dinner.
