I can not believe at times what litter people throw out in the countryside!! About once a month I walk along our property line that borders the highway to pick up trash out of our ditch. Sometimes is worse than others – today was one of the worst I had seen in sometime. The area I am talking about is less than a tenth of a mile long and I just about filled up a 13 gallon trash bag. I wish I had taken a photo of my collection!! I picked up a ripped pair of shorts! 3 socks, a hat, beer bottles, plastic coke bottles, a empty beer case cardboard box, empty trash bags – plastic.
Shorts and socks though! I do believe that I have never picked those up before. Beer bottles yes – every week there are beer bottles in our ditch – why – we live in a dry county (no alcohol is sold) people drive to the next county over to get alcohol and can not wait to drink before they get home and are drinking and throwing out their empties along the way. We live in what is referred to as the Bible Belt and dry counties in the south are common — although a lot of people do drink — they vote in dry and say it is bad for the youth, drunk driving ect and let the next county get all the tax dollars from the sales – doesn’t make sense to me but there you go I am a transplanted Yankee 
and we all know Yankees do not have dry counties!! None that I have heard of that is.
We have gotten the yard work done this evening and got the grass cut while it is cool outside – the heat wave finally broke and it was nice today and tonight will be in the upper 60′s (make that lower 60′s I just checked) I believe and the next night too!! It feels so good. One more day to go – tomorrow all the food stuff and bathroom stuff needs to be put in the camper. I turned the refrigerator on this morning in the camper to get it good and cold before I start packing the food in it.
I did not work on any Jane triangles today although this evening I will cut one out and prep it and maybe start work on it tomorrow. I won’t be busy all day!
