Blog: Green on a Gray Day  



It is cold gray and rainy here on St. Patrick's Day, but that didn't stop me from walking downtown to run errands. The rain paused mid afternoon and I took advantage of that. I would have gone earlier, but I couldn't find my umbrella. (mental note: look for umbrella - Spring=Rain)

Important stops:
-Library, why waste money and resources buying when I can borrow for free.
-Pulp, a new shop that only carries locally made paper products, bags, pins, calenders, etc.... and some awesome art. (Bought myself a "Reading is Sexy" pin. I couldn't resist.)
-Used book stores, there are two of them only a few blocks from each other and I can always find a book I am looking for at one of them for a great price.
-Thrift Store, found a super cute glass water pitcher that reminds me of the Kool-aid man only without the face and legs on it.
-Jane's Natural Market, great place to get some raw local honey and milk from a local dairy.

I love my neighborhood! Everything I need is so close I never have to drive. I save gas and money and burn a few extra calories, too. Not a bad Monday considering the cold and rain.
