Why I Have An Empty Bucket

I have washed and saved a plastic tub that held an insane amount of only okay ice cream.  I have no where to store  it really, but I'm saving it because it has a wonderful handle attached to it.

I have it sitting where I can see it every day, and every day I think I should just recycle it, but every day I don't.  You never know, I tell myself, you never know when you'll need a just right sized bucket with a sturdy handle.

It's perfect for berry picking, that's for sure, and while I haven't gone out hunting for wild mountain blackberries in a while, that is only because no one has found a good patch hereabouts.

But if I got that call, the call of discovery, I have a perfect bucket to grab as I run out the door.

And you can bet your sweet patootie, I'd be running!

So I will keep this empty bucket on standby, just in case.  It'll work great for blueberries or raspberries too, if the elusive wild mountain blackberry remains elusive again this year.

  4. I save containers like that too...plastic veggie containers are great as well. They're good for placing cookies in for a sick friend/new mom, etc. Recycling!
