Recycling Used Motor Oil

By littergitter

Recycling Used Motor Oil - soda bottle funnel in milk jugIt's grass mowing and garden plowing time. When my husband is going to change the oil in the mowers or tractor, I save a plastic soda bottle and a gallon milk jug, that has a top that screws on, for him to use to put the oil into.

Marking the Sprayer on your Kitchen Faucet

By Sandi/Poor But Proud

A faucet with a multifunction sprayer on the end, with markings in Sharpie.I recently replaced the normal head of the faucet with one of those that you can change from one to the other. Sometimes I want the stream for filling water bottles, etc. Then sometimes I want the sprayer to clean the sink. But I don't want the sprayer when I want to fill a bottle and I too often forget which setting it's on.

Heart in the Trees

By pertyt3

A heart shape in the sky because of the treeline and branches.I decided to go for a walk on my lunch break. I'd never been to this park before. But it was calm and relaxing. During my walk I happened to notice this beautiful shape of a heart in the trees and at the base was a nest. It sent me a message to love life. And to keep my eyes open to the beauty around me.
