Day 18 Five Unrelated Thoughts for Today

1.  I miss being in Paris!
2. Valentine's is a good day to be reminded to tell your children that you love them. Do not underestimate the power of showing them that you care. 
3. The Guardian is a must see movie. It is action packed. The man in your life might appreciate a break from the chick flicks today!
4.  After writing Day 3 Dreaming of Spring, I came across a few more great seed companies. These include Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds, Comstock Garden Seeds, and Victory Seeds. Please take the time to read the class action lawsuit against Monsanto. It is important for you to make your own decision about how a company can affect the food you eat. I am avoiding any purchase of products by Monsanto.
5. A quick search on any internet search engine will find many sites on reusing things to reduce your trash impact. It occurred to me that an entire outfit could be re-purposed into other things. Your favorite t-shirt added with others to make a quilt. An old belt used as a garden hose wrangler. A purse can be made from a pair of jeans. Socks can be made into stuffed toys. Your shoes made into a planter. The ideas are only limited by your imagination or Google.
