Well how did you do? Did you reduce your food wastage? I know that I made a real effort, and almost nothing went into the landfill, I consciously decided not to buy as much when I was shopping. That’s a tough one for me, since I am all about the “what if’s.”

Now I need to rethink our portion sizes when I am cooking. It’s not always economical, or feasible to make that extra portion for later if it doesn’t get eaten.

I am seeing some wonderful new sprouts in the garden, there might be a few bulbs, daylilies, and iris coming soon.
We also have a new paper delivery girl, and if I can get her not to walk through my beds, the flowers might get a chance to bloom.
