What does your UCG looks like?
Comments (9)One winter we had an arrangement with a local chain coffee shop to get all their UCG and at first gave them a large clean trash can but that was too heavy when full to easily load in the pick-up. So we went to the large totes with lids and left several of them. Collected 2-3 times a week. Ended when the lack of interest on their part became too obvious and I had a huge pile of UCG by that time. I'm sure it's just easier for them to dump them in with all the rest of the garbage. Another non-chain coffee shop in town puts all their UCG into the 5# coffee bean bags and leaves them on a shelf near their door. Anyone can pick them up and I only sometimes get them as often they are gone. If I lived in town I'd have them on my twice a day route. Here's the 3rd and last pile of UCG we got from the first coffee shop....See MoreList your citrus collection here
Comments (57)Bought one of those cocktail trees from Hirts a few months back. It was impulsive as they strike me as a little "cutesy" and not serious trees. The lemon and lImequat's roots are intertwined and no way to separate. Lemon looked sickly and yellow leafed on arrival, but the limequat fine. The lemon has dropped some leaves but just noticed a few bursts of green on the branches. Someday 10 years from now want to be drinking gin and tonics and whiskey sours even though I don't imbibe- yet....See MoreWhat does your hypothetical home look like?
Comments (38)I had to make a house for a project one time. It was an impossible house, but I even made floor plans from top to bottom of a three story house, down to the finishes and furnishings. The bottom floor housed a huge entry way with those double winding stairways to greet you. To the left was a study, warm and cozy with a window seat. Straightforward was into a rather large living room. There was a fireplace at the far end, shared (see-through) with the dining room large enough for at least a dozen at one table lay. On the right hand side of the dining room there were lanai doors that opened to a deck and just beyond it, a water inlet, and a garden (of course!). To the left of the dining room (and it could be accessed by the study on the other end), was the spacious kitchen with floor to ceiling windows that looked out over the west coast, high up on a cliff. The second floor was the laundry (huge!) and the master suite that had an amazing closet and bathroom. You should've seen the tub. Oh my. Obviously very spacious rooms and closet, since it took up an entire floor?! Seems like there was even an entire "closet" for purses. Wonder what that said about me since it was a house that was to be my mental retreat from the world? Hm. The third floor had two guest bedrooms with their own bathrooms and the rest of the floor was my son's area where he not only had a bedroom big enough for two queen beds (for sleep overs, he was really little then) and bath, he had a secret hideaway where he could lounge and play video games or watch movies. It had a spiral slide that he could ride all the way to the ground floor. What's really kind of cool is, he ended up with a bedroom a lot like my vision except far smaller (no kidding, since i live in a 1400 sq foot home and only has half a floor to himself ;) in reality. I still have the notebook with all the stuff in it. I should give that a look again. I guess I haven't needed to since I learned how to enjoy what I actually do have. Making this house into mine has been fun. I can't wait to get around to a more solid garden after a couple more years. I want to make wattle edging and that is going to take forever to do, but it's gonna fit me like a glove when I'm done....See MoreWhat does your phone/etc charging station look like?
Comments (19)Are those a thing? HAHAH as above just two of us, two phones...DH charges over night, I charge when I wake, swap the phones out here at the kitchen counter. We have plenty of outlets in our home so not an issue. Back in the day when #1 son purchases his first cell phone I bought this sharp looking wood dresser accessory to hold it, his charger neatly looped into it, wallet..contents of his pockets. Doubt it was ever used. I suggested a friend with many children and a mass of cords and phones she needed to charge, remove from kid hands over night, convert an old roll top bread box to hide the mess....Again sometimes I think the organization takes more time than its worth....See MoreMonyet
