Beneath the once white mounds of snow, there is trash, dirt, and road salt/sand. The rains have revealed our excesses on the things which surround us. Which reminds me, our poop exits our homes through a labyrinth of pipes. Some poop goes to water treatment plants and some is flushed directly into rivers or other bodies of water. Whatever our waste, it ends up all around us. I wonder what the other life forms think of our trash and poops. 💩

I just picked up half a 5 gallon bucket of it yesterday in my backyard.
I try to be a good neighbor and pick it up on the first thaw of the year.
Otherwise during the rest of the year I use my doggy doolie.

I have 3 dogs, small to medium in size.
