Fallen

Cardboard boxes that don’t blow away are always worth checking out. This one contained a big broken concrete urn. Poor garbage guy who had to lift that box!

It’s dark here now at 6:00 p.m. and not light enough for photography until almost 7:30 a.m. The Garbage Day Project will be going on winter hiatus starting December 1. I’m hoping that by Spring the garbage guys will have stopped doing pick-up in the dark.

I love the grid of this cardboard file box. The blue is from a cardboard USPS envelope.

A reminder that October 15 is Blog Action Day. The theme this year is poverty. This is a topic that is frequently on my mind on garbage day.
