Flowers and a caterpillar, woohoo! My farmers’ market bouquet had more than I expected. I rescued this little cutie caterpillar from the sink this morning and relocated them to the backyard. They did not like the first plant so I tried this one and it was acceptable. Always check your own garden produce, gifts from…
Greenhouse incoming! One of my decluttering clients had these three big panels from her business. She asked me to rehome them and when the gardener at our school saw them she immediately said greenhouse! Turns out we don’t actually have a big flat space for a greenhouse so we decided to move these along instead…
Yard Sign Recycling! Here’s what I shared with my neighbors as a City of Austin Zero Waste Block Leader: I will be accepting yard signs on my porch for the next few weeks or as long as I see the black collection containers at the RRDOC. Please separate the metal legs from the plastic signage.…

Waste not, want not. Our school hosted a flower bar for teacher appreciation this week from Trader Joe’s and I offered to take the leftovers home to compost. There was just enough left to make one bouquet for me. I love the opportunity to compost for school, that I got to save this one bit…

We had gorgeous weather for this year’s Creation Care Fair hosted by Triumphant Love Lutheran Church. There is always such an amazing array of vendors to talk with and so many fun crafts for kids. I got to meet a real bat and took home a birdhouse and bee home for solitary bees. It was…
Don’t forget to go through your summer supplies and re-home what doesn’t fit anymore. We have toddler goggles that need a new home that we in fact reused from those left and forgotten at the neighborhood pool.
