I often can't remember what I did once a day has passed and we've moved on to the next. I know that Monday was laundry and house work and roasting a chicken, which means that Tuesday was leftovers for dinner. Since we took some things to Goodwill on Wednesday, Tuesday must have been when I cleaned out some storage bins.
Wednesday I remember. Yes, we went to Goodwill to drop off stuff, and then to Home Depot to look for some house plants to replace my tired ones. Then we went to Costco to buy some things we needed, and a few we didn't need. Yep, that's how it is with Costco.
In the afternoon we spent an hour and a half out on the street corner, waving at cars and appreciating their honks and thumbs up.
It was raining lightly, but we have rain gear, and we felt compelled to be there with the local Indivisible group to take a stand against what ICE is doing in Minnesota and across our country. We were glad to be counted among the "resisters".
Thank goodness for Thursday. With no appointments or obligations, we slept late, spent time reading our phones and catching up on good and bad news, and did a little puttering.
I planted my new windowsill plants in the kitchen, all little Haworthias to go with those that were still OK.
Now it's almost 1:00, lunch time around here. I'll read the newspaper and maybe listen again to Bruce Springsteen's new protest song, "Streets of Minneapolis". Google it if you want to know.
I do that too....chucking sad looking houseplants and replacing them with fresh ones. I have a number of Hawarthias too and find them easy to grow. I've been sharing some of the babies ( pups?) with family members.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of repotted plants.
ReplyDeleteThat was a busy week! Here grandma is relaxing while the grandkids are at school and nursery and take advantage of of the sun 🌞!

ReplyDeleteLInda, we're trying to clean up here a little bit also. Grandson took several boxes of books and old DVD's to Half Price Book Store. I'm planning on getting some ready for the Kidney Foundation and possibly Good Will. The ice and snow (nothing compared to some) is finally melting. And I still have some Christmas to put away. But it's getting there... slowly. We were there for the NO KINGS protest. I suppose I need to see if there are any stands against ICE nearby... and I will check out that Springsteen song.
ReplyDeleteThe new plants look healthy and make me think of spring.
ReplyDeleteGood on you for being out their with the resisters.
Time does seem to be flying. January is almost over!
ReplyDeleteYour yellow basketweave pot is quite old my Mom had one like it but an aqua color...as I recall the base is attached. Nice little plantings:)
ReplyDeleteSounds like the perfect way to spend lunch! Bruce never disappoints—‘Streets of Minneapolis’ is such a powerful track. Enjoy your reading and tunes!"

It's so wonderful that you both went out and did something to protest the horrible path our country is on. I want to also but it's hard when it falls on the weekends with mom at home from day care. I really want to do this. I've bought stencils and now I need to get some tagboard to create a sign. I love Bruce and just in awe of how he was able to write, perform and produce that song for Minneapolis.
