Perfect


Cigarette Butts and green beans

Its been a long week already. Things are going better with Steve, right now... I think Maggie ate some cigarette butts out of the trash can, I don't think she's feeling so great right now, she's a bit restless. I got a mountain bike, lovin it, been riding it everyday. I'm doing my best to make an effort to keep this earth going for a little longer, but some energy efficient light bulbs, riding my bike to places close by, not taking unnecessary car trips, saving water from showers to water my plants, organic gardening, recycling, and composting. It makes me feel better about things I suppose. I can't believe its taken this long for society to get the fact that we're driving ourselves to our own doom. We have had and continue to have complete control over it!
I'm absolutely infatuated with my new job, its rough getting up at 3:15 am, but once I get going its fine... I love the people I work with and the philosophy of the company, its all about having fun, being healthy and making a good product.
I've also enjoyed the freedom that I feel from the independence of having stable employment, its liberating to come home tired from working hard, and feeling like I've produced something.
On another note, spring is in the air, the dogwoods are blooming and the air is so rich with the scent of the wisteria, this is my most loved time of year. I feel new along with all the plants sprouting and flowers blooming. There is such an immense peace I find with watching my little strawberry plants put up their first shoots and growing hummingbird vine, and peppers and poppies from seed. Its absolutely precious. Windows opens and fans whirring...
