See, here's the thing, every Spring I get the urge to plant things, play in the dirt, see pretty flowers in my yard. Then, every Summer I watch them die. I'm great at planting, not so great at keeping them alive. Every year I tell myself it will be different. I WILL keep better care of my plants and they will thrive. So, I keep telling myself. Don't get me wrong, I do try. I try a little harder every year and I'm getting better. I think. Plant, water, grow. Sounds easy.
I turned to cactus and succulents last year. They are doing great! This year, however, I wanted to grow veggies. With my marathon training I eat a large container of spinach a week, plus a large head of broccoli, a couple of pounds of berries, four apples a week. Wish I could grow an almond tree. I eat a pound of those every two weeks.
Today, I'm running on the treadmill. Heavy rain last night and I'd rather not slip on wet leaves. While I was running, I was trying to think of ways to encourage people to donate to my World Vision fundraising page. Here's an idea I came up with that sounded fun:
For every $100.00 donated this week I will run for one hour up and down a busy street in my town in a costume of your choosing and since I don't own a ton of costumes, you would need to provide the costume. I know that will be difficult for those not near me, but I'll figure something out if you cannot get me a costume.
I will, of course, post pictures.
