Dispose of your trash properly
Submitted by Kristel Cumpler, Bowie
As I’ve been enjoying early morning walks this summer, it has occurred to me that Bowie is fortunate to have many pleasant homes on its numerous shady, tree-lined streets. However, I have also noticed that Bowie’s appealing, small-town atmosphere has been unfortunately marred by an excessive amount of trash in the streets and along the curbs. Most of the trash I see has probably been tossed out of moving vehicles. Disposing of trash properly is a simple and easy thing for anyone to do. It takes no effort to keep a plastic grocery bag in your vehicle (I hang mine on the gear shift) and then empty the bag in your home trash bin once that becomes necessary. If we want to build a better Bowie, it makes sense to start with the small things over which we all have control. Your trash is your responsibility, and if we all accept that responsibility and use conscientious and courteous disposal habits, we will make positive strides toward helping our hometown become the great place that it can be.
Perfect Score, Director’s Select, Best of the Best and Leader of the Pack are just a few of the awards for Superlophus. I’m also reasonably sure you are thinking: What is a Superlophus?
Superlophus Sunglow is the official name botanically known as an Oenothera commonly called Texas Primrose. That’s right: This golden yellow flower that is a non-stop bloomer and tough-as-nails is a native selection and winner of 15 awards from Canada to Mississippi.

Get ready for more hot and mostly dry weather conditions this week! Outside of some very low rain/storm chances late this afternoon (and maybe tomorrow afternoon), the heat will be the main story for us! We’re almost there…fall is coming at some point!
A few years ago, if someone had suggested that I would be brewing tea from orange peels, fig leaves, and the assortment of wild plants flourishing in my yard, I would have giggled in disbelief. My perception of tea was limited to the neatly packaged bags sold at the store, each little bag a promise of convenience.
I still vividly recall a few memorable trips to Great Britain, where I savored the robust flavor of a PG Tips tea bag—moments like that felt exquisitely sophisticated to me! The British, with their ritual approach and passion for creating the perfect cuppa, truly have mastered the art of tea.
