Much better day-by-day completion than the during the Plastic Challenge in July.  

A fragrant day in the backyard herb garden cutting back basil for pesto before the next freeze.  Cleaned up the mint, oregano, fennel, dill, and garlic chives  Transplanted my bonsai Wisteria into a new and smaller training pot.  

It has been a good run.  I find that I am more aware of choices that I make while shopping.  Cutting down on waste and using reusable products even more has been another benefit.  Thank you for providing this opportunity to participate.

Yesterday, the solar panels got installed on my roof. Just waiting for the inspection before I can use them and watch the meter turning backwards!

Spent the morning in the Cottonwood Gallery collecting phenology data for our Nature's Notebook citizen-scientist project.  The cottonwoods are changing color and should improve through the week.  On Friday we hope to get some aerial video taken with a drone flying through the canopy.  

Went up to Corkin's Lodge in the shadow of the magnificent Brazos Cliffs for my nephew's wedding.  Fortunately, the strong winds bracketed the ceremony and Saturday was perfect for the couple.  

Traveling today up to the Brazos for my nephew's wedding.  Might be a tad breezy, but the cliffs there are a dramatic backdrop for appreciating nature.

Took some time this morning to go through some of the other categories of actions and updating my "I already did this" checklist.  

I was reading about impacting investing and one link led me to another story, article, info.  Found "The Lazy Person's Guide to Saving the World."  Great thing to share with anyone in your life that may find this whole situation to overwhelming.  Here is the link:  https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/takeaction/

Gave a tour of the Botanic Garden to a group of Horticulture Volunteer candidates.  A perfect day to stroll through the garden.  I'm always impressed with the Hort. Volunteers; they work so hard to make the Botanic Garden the beautiful place that it is.  Without them, we docents wouldn't have the garden for our educational efforts.
