Sarah Bertovich 3/20/2019 5:17 AMI think I missed out on a lot of the bigger, one-time challenges by letting the weekends slip by me, but they are still things I'd like to do, so I will get to them eventually anyway! Looking forward to the more outdoorsy activities now that spring is officially here!
In the meantime, I've upped the recycling game in our household - we did pretty okay before, but I tended to skip some things that we now make sure to recycle. So that's a lasting change.
Thanks, this was fun. :)-
Meghan Scanlon 3/20/2019 6:27 AMYay! I'm so glad you were able to participate and found this fun.

Sarah Bertovich 3/14/2019 1:06 PMThe weather is nice enough to (pleasantly) walk outside!! [many more exclamation points]
I am resisting the "plant an herb garden" challenge since we're still before the frost line, but I will enjoy the lunchtime walks in the meantime!-
Jerry Crockett 3/15/2019 6:12 AMI have been patiently watching my herbs to see what bounces back and what doesn't! I have four parsley plants in ground that have survived three winters - cross your fingers for another! Other than that, I'm watching my rhubarb leaves pop back up and my ground ginger wake up. Lots of trees in the house right now starting to wake up, too - fig, self-flowering key lime, and peach :) -
Meghan Scanlon 3/15/2019 4:56 AMI was so excited to go for a walk after work yesterday! Frick Park was hopping! -
