Earth Day is upon us. My grandson and I want out with garbage bags today, like many other families, and picked up trash along the river. We talked about our Mother Earth and I was impressed to hear about what he's been doing in school and at home to help the environment.
When you think about the state of our environment it can be overwhelming. I don't need to go on with a never ending list of all our problems. I'd just like to say that every little thing we do to help Mother Earth counts! Just something to think about.
Happy Earth Day!

Reminiscing on Life Without Power 
@intuitvwandrlust tells us about returning to his beloved Saint Croix, Virgin Islands home before the power was restored. We're always aware of storms such as Irma and Maria but I don't think we realise what it's like after the storm. @intuitvwandrlust gives us a peek into the days after. Thanks for making me think @intuitvwandrlust.
Until next time friends...

So great to read about doing something proactive on Earth Day!
Litter is the bane of my life, I volunteer litter pick and it drives me mad what people leave/.
Thanks so much! I hear you about the litter. Here in Canada it's not as bad as some places but it's still there, blowing all over. YUCK! Have a great day.
I commend the two of you for doing your part for Earth Day. Here in the USA we have so many things that some days have more than just one cause dedicated to that day, it was both Earth Day and National Jelly Bean Day.
I was torn between the two but in the end the jelly beans won. My daily dose from 4/23/18 covered it in detail if you care to take a look.
National Jelly Bean Day? I'm in on that one.....sounds fun! I hope you didn't throw the package on the ground? LOL! Been busy but I'm going to go see what you'be been up to....
No the empty bag went in the trash, just like it is suppose too.
Upvoted. Good work. Thanks for picking up. I do that sometimes. I eat from my gardens.
Thank you for being on the Talk Of The Line, it was a pleasure to have you and hear about your post. See you next time
