Wow, it's hard to believe it's already the end of April! I was happy to get all my selected actions done, given that bad weather, health issues, and other challenges claimed a lot of time this month.
I FINALLY visited some of the not-too-distant nature areas that I've been planning to check out for years. I have a favorite greenway that's only a mile from my home, but it was good to branch out into new places. I noticed that someone has been putting cat food and water out, presumably for ferals in the area; the empty cans and lids were among the items I cleaned up while I was there.
As always, I shook my head at how many plastic water bottles I saw along the trails. After filling two bags with trash, I was happy to sit on a bench and contemplate the native plants surrounding the waterway. It's refreshing to experience such a serene and natural place in the middle of a huge city. Then it was time to make my way back to the hustle and bustle, collecting more litter on the way.
I hope everyone has had a wonderful Earth Month! It's been a fun adventure working with all of you to save our planet.
Love, Mary
