A Sight To Behold

I had some time to kill before dinner with my mother yesterday so instead of hanging around her house I decided to spend the next hour and a half of downtime finishing my book (Life of Pi). The local Starbucks was packed, the library was closed, and although the peace and quiet of a church would serve perfectly for finishing off my book I just couldn't bring myself to go in and lounge about in the pews. So I decided to drive around the neighbourhood I grew up in and find a nice quiet street. Right by my old Elementary School seemed like a fitting place to read about a boy and his tiger. I parked my car, watched some young girls skateboard around the schoolyard, and lo and behold, what one of many changes did I notice at my old alma mater? Blue recycling bins in front of every classroom!


My eyes widened and my heart sang to see that the school was making it easier for the kids to recycle (and at such an impressionable age, too!) And they were even utilizing the blue residential bins. What a sight to behold on a perfect Sunday afternoon.
