Fall News from the Leaf and Petal Greenhouse

It’s that 琀me of year when we get ready to bring our plants to the greenhouse as the weather turns chilly. Please check your plants for any bugs that might be living on them before you bring them to the greenhouse. Put your name tag on each pot and put your pots in a plas琀c saucer that you will 昀nd in the greenhouse. As your plants shed leaves and 昀owers, please sweep up a昀er them. You are responsible to water and care for your plants as no one else will do that. If you need any help with watering, let us know and we will help out. Put your dead plants, pots, and soil into the container by the door.

All of us are looking forward to another colorful assortment of 昀owers to enjoy all winter long as your plants enjoy being inside for the winter months. If you want to donate any unwanted plants, leave them on the table and s琀ck a dona琀on sign in the pot. Thank you.

SAVVY TUDOR OAKS RECYCLER

CHEERS!! to all the many, many STORs who are putting their clean plastic bags into the WHITE bins in the Recycling Rooms!!

Yes! Our plastic bags can be recycled by companies into more plastic bags.

Watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6hzhKmw4EY

Hard to believe, but plastic bags are the number one contaminate in recycling loads. They act as “tanglers”, getting caught in the sorting machinery, shutting down equipment and recycling lines until removed.

Watch: https// www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlYLnHQ9peM

We are like a small village here at Tudor Oaks with nearly 125 IL residents. Collecting just our recyclable plastic bags two or three times a week from our Recycling Rooms, result in many larger sacks of those unneeded bags taken to a drop-off point (usually Wal-Mart). Keeping plastic bags out of the PAPER bins and the TALL COVERED bins make those recyclables useable. So once again--YES! YES! YES! Let’s place clean plastic bags in the WHITE bins in the Recycling Rooms. NO! NO! NO! Don’t put plastic bags into the PAPER or the TALL COVERED bins. If you do bring your recyclables to the Recycle Room in plastic bags---Empty them into the proper bin and then either throw them down the TRASH CHUTE, or if clean, place in the WHITE bin, or take them back to your apartment to refill again! We can all do our part as STORs ---Savvy Tudor Oaks Recyclers!! THANKS

A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. 'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!'

The wife stared at him. 'What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?' The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving.'
