Keeping it Uplifting

How did you celebrate Earth Day yesterday? I started mine out with a trip to Caribou (I drove—the bike’s not tuned up yet) for my free coffee. All you had to do was bring in a reusable mug!

A day that starts with Caribou is a good day in my book. I continued to try to keep the “green” momentum throughout the day. I did a load of laundry and used this environmentally friendly laundry detergent sample I got from Costco last weekend. I also used cold water for the wash.

In timely fashion, our mini garden started sprouting little thyme sprouts. That only took a week! I can’t wait for fresh herbs this summer.

Lunch was leftovers from Sunday. Dana and I went to a casual sandwich shop called Which ‘Wich and I ordered a turkey wrapped in lettuce “sandwich.” I just had to replace the lettuce yesterday with fresh stuff because it had gotten a little soggy from the mustard and mayo. I actually think it tasted better on day two.

Moose enjoyed the yard while it was temporarily snow free…

I went to dinner at mom and dad’s and we had burgers with sautéed onions, a big salad, and roasted zucchini. I had deli mustard with my burger and oh my goodness that stuff is good! I need to go get myself some of that!

The weather turned for worst last night and all I’m going to say about it is this:

I refuse to turn into negative Nancy about it because I am extremely tired of hearing people complain about it considering there is NOTHING we can do about it, except for move to another state. I want to keep today’s post happy and uplifting, so I am calling upon my Pinterest finds to do just that.

Here is an eclectic mix of photos and quotes that made me happy today…

If that doesn’t make you smile, I don’t know what will! I hope you all have a very HAPPY day!

  1. awww love that last puppy pick! And I don’t care about the snow anymore either – it will be melted by this weekend – 68 degrees on Friday!! And yeah for free Caribou –> good Monday and Earth Day!

      Me too, and I can’t wait to hopefully have an abundance of it growing in my backyard this summer! Zucchini everything!

  2. That was uplifting! 🙂 You can always count on Pinterest for good finds. You are really inspiring me to start a garden. We have a townhome we are renting so I’ve always felt like we are going to have to move in a year or so, so why start? But then I see your little portable (indoor) garden and it makes me realize I am being lazy!

      Yes you should do it! Get it started inside and then transplant it outside if you can later on! I thought of you as soon as I saw that the Thyme was coming up! 😉
