    I repaired and repurposed an old pair of sweats into shorts and a string tote bag. The sweats were too short but are super comfy as shorts, and some of the legs made a small bag, and the rest went for cleaning rags.

      I love this!!! I have used old clothing for cleaning rags for quite some time but never thought about the bag option.

    There are over 1800 people participating, and each and every one has a story about how these little changes are making a difference. Just think if 1800 people just saved one gallon of water a day for 30 days. That’s 54,000 gallons of water. That’s about 20 fire trucks worth of water. You all make a difference e,

    It’s been a wonderful day, and I’m looking forward to a quiet weekend. I’m house sitting for a friend and that includes feeding the birds, raccoons, and deer. Four baby raccoons today!

    How can spending more time outdoors enhance your sense of place -- your deep knowledge of and appreciation for your surroundings?

    When I go for a hike, life slows down. I only have birds to listen to, frogs, the smell of the prairie on a hot afternoon... it makes everything else I do calmer and less stressful. There's a reason that we go for a walk when we need to "cool down."
