If You Are Going Green Do So...

Well I am happy to say that the top layer of the beds are finally done now I only have to more layers to get done and the flower beds will be ready to face the summer...

Carl worked all day getting the top soil from the garden and getting the second tilling in... maybe there will be fresh veggies at our place this fall which will be a nice change since there has not been any for a few years...

This morning there was a great debate on with myself if I was going out grocery shopping or staying home and working in the yard... the sun was shining and I was not as sore as I thought I was going to be this morning.. but the lack of fresh veggies and fruit in the house made me go out to do the shopping...

I went to my usual store which on Earth Day started to charge for plastic bags...all fine and good... as I walked into the store with my own green bags and went to the produce department I took a look around for the second time and wondered that same thing... ok if this is a green store why is there so many rolls of plastic bags so customers can put their one apple, two oranges, grapes that are already in a plastic wrap etc in these plastic bags... my thoughts a long time ago was why use these bags any way... it is not like you are going to go home and put all this in the fridge in the bags... okay that was one thing... the second was when they started to come out with green bags they were .99 and just before Earth Day they went up to 1.29 hmmm so who is getting to made a few more cents for themselves??? So after picking up what I needed I went to the check outs since it takes forever to get someone to change the scales on self scan when you are using the green bags... I put the bags which were mostly not from that store on the cash and I had to laugh the cashier when digging through my bag of bags to find their store bags... she asked if I wanted to buy more bags... of course me being me came back with no thank you... I went to the other stores and got these bags because they didn't up the price .30... what could she say.. it was true...I think the next time I go do groceries I will take in all the other bags from the other stores to put what I got in and see what happens... what can I say ... I am not a nice person... lol

Well there is still an hour or so of day light left so I think I am going to see if I can get another layer of bed done before I call it a night...

Have a wonderful all.... Joanne
