My windows were open all day today. It was desperately needed considering my house still smells of varnish. Tomorrow isn't supposed to be as pleasant...in the low 80s, but with rain. There's a lot more rain here than I thought there would be. Better the rain than a higher water bill, I suppose.
So, I think I have mastered the art of recycling here in the Twin Cities. It's a rather complicated process with lots of dos, don'ts, separating, and bagging. While confusing and somewhat time consuming, I'm glad that I no longer have to transport my recycling to a different locale (thanks, Mom & Dad, for the use of your recycle bin over the last few years) just to be a greener citizen.
Speaking of recycling, I ran into my neighbors as I was putting out my recycle last night and received an update on my lawn care. It's $55/month to have my lawn mowed once a week...that's with my "Neighborhood Discount"...A.K.A. the "I only have to walk 10 ft to mow your lawn" discount. Whatever you call it, you have to call it a good deal. Best of all, I never have to worry about my lawn getting out of hand. Actually, the real "best of all" is that I don't have to do it myself. They have kept the service up even though I haven't seen them since I moved in, and I certainly haven't paid them yet (I will). They do snow removal in the winter, too. Hmmm, I wonder if they rake leaves in the fall...
