Earth Day

For me, Earth Day isn't necessarily about recycling, reducing or reusing. It's about enjoying what surrounds us and celebrating the planet we live on.

2007- We planted a flowering Bradford Pear tree for the boys.


2008- I photographed our Red Bud in full bloom.


2009- We hung a bird house in our Oak tree.



And fed the birdies. (The tree below the bird feeder is the Bradford Pear we planted a couple years ago. It's grown twice it's size.)


How will you celebrate Earth Day?

Hmmm, we went to breakfast with friends. I guess we also covered our grapevine so the birds couldn't get to it!

I hope that I'm celebrating Earth Day a little every day by continuing to set good examples for my kids about our consumption and giving back in any way we can weather it is recycling plastic bags, discontinuing to use plastic bags, recycling even when I'm not at home, repurposing things, picking up trash on our walks, etc

We try to recycle the basics. We keep the recycling bins in the laundry room. Often I hand Ethan an empty milk jub & tell him we need to recycle it, he'll walk down the hall & put it in the bin!

I need to pick up my free re-usable grocery bag on Tuesday!

Oh yeah & DH is planting a big garden this year - I can't wait for fresh corn & tomatoes!
