Does it give fruit? I ask because figs are one of my favorite snacks. In fact, as I'm sitting here typing, I stop periodically to reach to the plate on the computer table and pick up a piece of buttered toast spread with fig jam! Yummy! <br /><br />You're right about Minnesota. I lived there 38 years and the litter did seem so much less than here in Missouri. Like you, I find it hard to understand.<br /><br />As to reading three books at one time, my mind tends to narrow to tunnel vision and I absorb them one at a time! I envy your ability to multitask!

They throw everything on the street!

It is unbelievable! Poppy and I have picked up nine big black garbage bags full, in one day, just on the road we live on. The family responsible for most of that littering finally moved on, but it's that way on all the country roads in this part of the country. Your flowers are so pretty! Our azaleas have buds but no blooms yet. Hope this cold weather doesn't hurt them.Henny Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958386938311591314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8791768581127769171.post-54181491066674579852018-03-12T10:37:49.936-07:002018-03-12T10:37:49.936-07:00What a pity people can't take their rubbish ho...What a pity people can't take their rubbish home with them.

The sad thing is that before you know it the situation will be back to what it was. I think we should have a litter aversion course in school - right from the earliest grades. One of the things that really bugs me is to see a smoker calmly dump all his butts from the car ash try onto the road while he is waiting at a stop sign. Grrrr!David M.
