Art Everywhere

Almost a month went by since I wrote in my blog and I did not even notice it. I can name a whole lot of reasons for not writing but it would actually be more fun to just write about something-anything else instead.

Looks like nice weather is here to stay. We went out for a walk in the new neighborhood and enjoyed looking at the lovely flowers blooming everywhere. My DH had a ball taking pictures with his new camera. And he did get some really beautiful ones too. But that is not the kind of art or inspiration that I am talking about. I am talking about mundane things like trash (trash!??!).

One must walk around in my neighborhood on a 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month to see what I am talking about. It is almost festive. Everybody arranges their trash and recycle items neatly in stacks or side by side and in lovely bright blue and green colored bins. And they do it over a 2 day period, all ready for the trash people for pick up. Looks like they treat their trash as their own treasures?

I am still new here and have a lot to learn and to get trained and to put the glass in green and paper in blue (or the other way around? ) so I won't miss the trash collectors. Maybe I should give them a more glamorous name such as "Used items picker uppers" but that sounds like a Bounty commercial!. Anyway, we all wait for them early on Wednesdays so we will have more space in the garage to collect more "used items" for them to pick up in a week or two.
