Spring must be on the way!

"If you don't like the weather wait 5 minutes"

This is one way to describe yesterday and todays weather! Sun, rain, sun, rain, snow, hail, sun, and dramatic skies all mixed through out the day. Yesterday I was able to start thinning out the hedge and filled our green container that is for garden waste. There is still a lot of hedge standing! Today the green container was emptied. Next Friday the gray garbage container that is for household garbage gets emptied. So that is how it goes. One week green, the next week gray. Super system. Paper, here in Baarn, gets collected every Friday. Some cities have supplied a large, waterproof, blue container to every house hold that gets emptied once a month. The blue container that is, not the house hold! Great idea! Glass jars and bottles we bring to the glass bin. Now, many cities are starting to encourage plastic recycling by supplying large clear plastic bags so we can separate the plastic from the garbage/rubbish. This plasic bag is then collected. Batteries can be dropped into bins at drug stores and Buitenzorg. All this and the gray container still seems to fill up! Just to let you know!
