When I was a preteen, I was in a farming group of teens and one year we made bird houses and went around the different areas of our rural community and put them up for people. A few months ago, I was at my sister's mother in law's house and I noticed a very old and shabby looking birdhouse and asked if that was one that we had made and my sister said it was and I stood looking at it and remembered all the fun and then a tiny little bird carrying twigs flew into his slum house. HA! I wanted to take it down and at least paint it, but it was still serving a purpose. Let me see, that birdhouse is, almost 42 years old.zelda1https://www.blogger.com/profile/04212809913449846878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1145831859375926692006-04-23T18:37:00.000-04:002006-04-23T18:37:00.000-04:00Great to hear that you celebrated Earth Day!!!!

I wish some of my local uni's would do something more grand than the few meager attempts they currently do. I find it very strange that my city STILL has no recycling system in place. <BR/><BR/>Kudos to your community, and your institution, for making Earth Day a more than once-a-year event.KLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00432371404842970536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1145812693237272102006-04-23T13:18:00.000-04:002006-04-23T13:18:00.000-04:00The campus where I currently work did not, to my k...The campus where I currently work did not, to my knowledge, do anything for Earth Day.

Yesterday was such a beautiful day in Snowstorm City. RebelliousTeenager enjoyed his visit and hanging around with the college students. I can't help but wonder if he passed you or if it was some of your students he played frisbee with. Your students sound like such caring, committed young people.listiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531432035830658570noreply@blogger.com
