    Wait, today is the last day, but we can't do our challenges?  Darn.  Not sure I did them last night and would have added those, too.  Guess I'll just go out in the garden and take out all the salsify that is blooming and see if I can spot some knapweed...  Great job team!

      The system is probably just bogged down a the moment.  I've had to wait a few times. Try again after gardening.  ;)  Great job on making it to number 11!

    Home Tour today, so I got to be outside, but not to garden.  Did admire some other gardens.

    One thing about reusable water bottles--if I stock my car with several, I don't have to run out and I end up drinking more water overall.

    My outside time was spent putting up native bee houses. Hoping to find out which leafcutter  or mason bees live around my garden.

    Got 5 challenges today.  Helps to pick the ones you can actually do each day.  I don't do that much wash, so it's not helping my points...and I ended up advocating for art at the college instead of earning points for turning in some old clothes, but that was a better use of my time.

    I finally figured out how to unsign up so I could choose a different challenge.  i don't like being limited to 8 total one time challenges or 8 daily challenges.  Guess I was supposed to read them all and then pick?
