Every year about this time (actually, for the last 27 years), I sit in my proverbial starter blocks, ready to take on \u201cSPRING CLEANING\u201d.<\/p>\n
NO, not in my house! I keep that up to date with the seasons. But our outdoors… this year although has a road block in the form of a virus.<\/p>\n
You cannot see nor feel, and it is deadly as it is sneaky. One can have it, carry it around for two weeks, until it is full-blown and throws you to the edge of your grave.<\/p>\n
Because of social distancing, three or four of us volunteers cannot possibly sit in a truck side by side or pick trash 6 feet apart. My effort therefore is limited to my daily dog walking and picking up what sloppy litterboxes lost.<\/p>\n
Seeing a lot of people walking this spring.. could I make a kind suggestion and appeal to the communal pride of my fellow citizens? TO: wear old gloves, take a bag with you, and pick up what litters our surroundings. Let us show some pride, not all of us are ignorant and thoughtless or in need of a cleaning lady. The mess out there is immense, who will clean up our first-impression-doormat? Earth Day was April 22nd, and in honour of the place we live in, be kind and make a difference. Do your part.<\/p>\n
From myself and my volunteers,<\/p>\n
Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
