Around where we live several big corporate restaurants (Houlihans, Eat at Joes ) have closed and the buildings are now being taken over by weeds and time, starting to crumble and return to a more natural state. I weirdly love to watch this process, and imagine a time where nature reclaims all the terrible Red Lobsters and Olive Gardens and Walmarts people once put our faith, money and time in to. Here is a great look at an abandoned mall in NJ (photo).
Here is a good article portal to check out changes, updates, and other resources about recycling in your state.

One of my March and now April goals is to care for my houseplants. Here is a fun little video for changing pots.
One of my April Goals is to get out into the yard, and a great project to start with is our porch. We have grand plans to change our porch but for now, I’ll settle for somewhere that I want to sit and watch the neighborhood. We have already started by picking up some of the items that were hanging out there, but didn’t need to be.

Getting our porch ready for Summer is really important to us bc a lot of our plants live there in the warm weather. And they love it!
