It Is Earth Day!

DSC_0008It is Earth day. How are you celebrating the day? Personally, I am a recycle freak. I recycle anything and everything that can be recycled not because it is fashionable but the right thing to do.

DSC_0132This is how they do it in Geneva, one bin for each type of goodies… Pet – pet’s monkey businesses, Verre – any breakable element like in glass, Organizes Compostables – organic components like in fruits, Papier Carton – paper & cardboard, Alu fer Blanc – aluminum can, Ordures Ménagères – garbage to include everything like in electrical wire, old clocks... Yes, you do not find one tiny bit of paper or whatever on the ground, it is insanely clean. This is what I call keeping mother earth happy. I wish I could say the same about many hoods. Yes, I am pushing it and yes, clean air is always in the air in that city.

One Plain Yucky Day!

980576_10201163992120378_1825894827_oLord, give me the strength to deal with this crazy weather and wisdom to know the difference that it is mother nature doing her thing. It is summer after all and we are supposed to get rain often but now, I am not even going to say please because you overstayed your graces. Yes, the lawn is smiling but soaking wet. The grass covered in butterflies, lizards, bees, spiders hanging from afar – yes far, is getting so high that it screams, help me, help me. So we, united in the same common ground, delightfully urges the rain to hit the road, just pack up and go for a few days, give us sometime to breathe. We love you, we need you but it has been days. We need to see the sun because it is just plain yucky!
