A little swig of coffee in the morning sure gets my antennae perked up! I noticed that WCPC has a coffee bar on Sunday morning, just outside the sanctuary. A great place for visiting, don’t you think? I also saw some ceramic mugs sitting on the counter. Hey, everybody! How about grabbing a ceramic mug instead of a paper cup? Just return it, and that same mug will be washed for use again the next week. Earth friendly, indeed!

Last week I was happily crawling around the neighborhood, when it started to rain. Boy, I got drenched! Made me wish I had my red umbrella. But wait! Something was not right. It wasn’t rain; it was a lawn sprinkler! What? I didn’t expect that for sure. It is winter, and St. Augustine lawns go dormant. That means they don’t need water. So we can turn off our sprinklers. Great way to save on water, money and unhappy creatures!

When I was just a wee nymph, my mother told me, “Little things add up.” And now that I am older, I see that it is so true. Like the other day when I heard about our church’s Facility Energy Audit. We learned lots of ways we can save energy. Some of the ways save bunches of energy and other ways save just little bits. I think my mom would say, “Do even the small things, because they add up!” I love my mom!
