The excitement at Casa de Abello is over our new recycling bin. It is, in actuality, a laundry hamper. But the bags are removable and there are three of them. We no longer will be throwing everything into one bin for later sorting. The nicety also follows that we can take one load at a time for right now. Which is pretty great when you have to drive your own recycling around town.

In addition, we have tomatoes on our front plants. Something I am quite excited about. We lost one fruit already to bugs, but there has been a spraying. Are we proud? No. But we will have tomatoes.

It continues very hot, which I am not too thrilled on. But that’s how it rolls here in OK.
