i don’t know if i should start with the results of the contest, or give you today’s picture 1st. it’s so nice to have choices! heck, i think i might just ramble on for a little while just because i have your attention. is it just me, or does my text look a little blue tonight?? you know, blue is a 4 letter dirty word during the month of march, and i would hate to commit such a terrible faux pas. oh well, we can’t be perfect all the time!
we had some friends over tonight and had a great time. we had barbecue (the real kind), and diana made the MOST awesome cherry pineapple dumpcake that i have ever had. i’m sure she would be happy to post the recipe if you are interested. sam the chihuahua (of early green project fame) came with his humans, jake and diana, and enjoyed (or not) some quality time with sadie. add jenny g (jenny from the block, as we like to call her) and our new friend aubrey and you have good times!
is that enough small talk before announcing the contest winner???? ok, here goes… drumroll…………….
the official winner of the green project contest, by popular vote, is… (more drumrolls)
SANTO AND THE ERRANT GOLF SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!
congratulations, santo!! at the conclusion of the green project, santo gets to choose an enlargement of his favorite green project pic up to a 16 x 20… i might even sign it ;)
today’s picture is the last in a series featuring the green project warehouse in new orleans. it does feature plants, but i just wanted to share with you how the green project implements its recycling plan. can anybody guess what the planters are??

Thanks,
To all the people that voted for my story. I am going to have to look at all the pics to see which one I want. Who knows if I do get the pic signed it may be worth something someday?
Thanks Again,
Santo

Hey, those are bathtubs that they used for planters maybe we should look into getting some for the church I just noticed what they were!!! Something clever to use or reuse.

cute idea, for the bathtubs that is. Now that would hold alot of dirt and plants. Congratulations Santo on your story.

The green does seem to be leaning a little more toward teal on this one. I’ll post the recipe. But it’s just going to make me look like a cop-out when it comes to making homemade desserts. I don’t even know if you can really count that dump cake as fully homemade anyway. But with a yellow cake mix and commercial amounts of butter, who could go wrong?

you know, when you have a good thing, who cares if it’s hard to make or not? it just shows that you are really smart!
