    Great, 2 pounds of Co2 ! And Co2 is really light, so that's probably at least a couple of rooms full.

    Yesterday I ventured out back to our never used picnic table for lunch.  No butterflies today, but a couple of squirrels came over to see what I was up to and then played tag on a nearby tree.

    Had fun eating outside. Glad it was a warm day. Listened to the boids and watched a butterfly fluttering around the Catalpa trees.

    i skipped all the water ones since we are on a well and septic.  All the water coming in from the well goes right back out through the septic and back to the earth. The one thing we can watch is the energy use for hot water. We already have a heat pump water heater so that is a step in the right direction.
