I was reminded over the weekend of the ONLY good thing about February - it is typically when my Lenten Roses start to bloom. It comes at the perfect time, when I am absolutely longing to see green and blooming things!
I've made a couple more discoveries in my quest to make less trash. One is these recyclable coffee pods made by beaniac. They are also made of sustainably farmed coffee, and taste really good!
Another is these wool dryer balls. They eliminate the need for dryer sheets (not compostable and full of chemicals 😝) AND are supposed to help things dry faster, thus using less electricity. Win-Win! I was a bit skeptical, but my laundry has NOT had any static. I kinda miss the smell of Bounce, but I'll get over it!
L was the next in the family to succumb to COVID, despite being triple vaccinated. She had a sore throat, headache and was definitely feeling sick for a couple of days, but again, this was very mild. She is back to normal and back to school now.
We spent another 20 hours without power last week due to wind and downed trees. Besides that, not much else is happening around here.
Spring will be here SOON!
