I walked to the grocery store this morning for bananas, and picked up bottles and cans along the way. It will rain tonight, and anything left will wash into the creek, so I felt good about being able to recycle these instead.
Walking up Ellsworth Street, I saw a bright red Coke can in the gutter and went over to pick it up. Just then a young girl came out of the adjacent house with her father, apparently on the way to school. "I did that too, yesterday!" she declared as she looked at my armload of bottles and cans. "I did something good for the environment at Sligo Creek." "Good for you!" I replied. "Thank you for doing that." "You're welcome," she said.
In the afternoon, the temperature reached 65 degrees F and I went for a run. It's nice weather for a run - like early May - but 20 degrees above the average temperature for the date. I went farther, about 4.5 miles, saw a couple of deer just feet off the path, browsing, and picked up four plastic bottles, two for each hand.
Sunrise 7:21 am, sunset 5:17 pm.
