In the last 5 days I limited my driving by only using the vehicle when I needed to pick up my child from school. Also worked from home instead of heading in to the office. :)

Melissa Rodgers 4/27/2023 2:14 PMI was looking for an alternative for weed killer. I found this recipe of all natural ingredients. Try it if you like, but just know that it will what it touches, so don't spray the flowers and plants!
1 Gallon Vinegar
2 cups Epsom Salt
1/4 cup Dish Soap
Spray Bottle
Mix all the ingredients, then put into a spray bottle. You will need to treat the area more than once. -
Melissa Rodgers 4/27/2023 2:11 PMIn celebration of Earth Day, I planted a Shumard Oak tree. I got the tree free from the Electric Company. They give away free trees every year for Earth Day. This year, they also had a community event in one of the nature parks. People participated in cleaning up the trails, and enjoyed some games, face painting, and activities. -
