When we come to California to the old house, we bring our recyclable aluminum cans so we can turn them in to the County recycle center and get $$ back. We had quite a load this trip and actually got over a hundred bucks for the aluminum cans. We had been collecting them over several months.
The funny thing about the recycle trip is that we get most of our aluminum beverage cans in Arizona. In our state, we do not have the nutty greenbat notion of California Recycle Value (CRV), so we can take advantage of recycling our scrap aluminum and get the CRV back that we didn’t pay in the first place. 😀
Damsel took this picture of an unusual succulent just outside of the gate to the center. The large drooping flowers attracted a bunch of bees we could see buzzing around. Click on the image to enlarge.
Why, you sneaky devils, you!
The succulent is Agave attenuata, the only Century Plant I know that doesn’t have thorns on its leaves. It’s rather tender to frost, and needs some shade if you try it in the desert.
Thought it was an agave!
