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 2:11 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. -
