There Goes The Neighborhood

We woke up yesterday morning to a huge blue trash can in our driveway with a county logo painted on the side.  The papers attached to it informed us that our county is now doing curbside recycling for every single home in the county — even ours!  We don’t have lines painted on the road, or street lights and can’t get cable, dsl, fios or public trash service… but now we have curbside recycling.  How’s that for screwed up!

I’ve been seriously sick for the last two weeks.  It started with a sinus infection that moved into my lungs.  I was planning on putting down topsoil and compost for my veggie gardens last week but really wasn’t well enough.  I’m not sure I’m well enough for it even now, so unfortunately I’ll be getting a late start this year.  I’m hoping to at least get the pool pump running this weekend so I can get a headstart on getting the chemicals set up.

I have a business trip next week… back down to Huntsville.  At least the weather should be good.  And then Easter.  We’re helping at our church’s Easter festival next Saturday and then having April, Shane and the kids over for Easter dinner on Sunday.  That should be fun.  Hopefully I can get out in the garden the following weekend.

Have you seen my current favorite picture of John?    We were walking over toward the Finding Nemo ride when John saw Donald, his favorite character, at the Epcot Character Spot.  He ran over to the glass to take a peek, and Donald came over to visit while waiting for the next family in line.  It was great!
