Have you been wondering about
the numbers that ate appearing on
the bottom of products you buy
that are packaged in plastic con
tainers? The numbers are the
result of the plastic industry’s
effort to make the identification
and separating of plastics easier
for consumers and recyclers. The
numbers, which are enclosed by
three solid arrows that form a
triangle, indicate the type of plas
tic used to make the container.
The seven types of plastics are
described below.

Life can get so hectic! We were
trying to catch up with our work
after being away from home for 10
days. Then, our 17-month-old
grandson began to spend his days
with us as his mother was in the
hospital.
Having a toddler to watch and
diaper was not part of my plan for
this spring. I had been transplant
ing some flowers from the hum
house to our present home. There
must be some 20 perennials that
have been moved so far.
Our grandson, Bradley, likes to
play with a bucket of water as I
dig holes for die plants. Our newly
seeded lawn had grown quite tall
and he helped me rake it after it
was finally mowed. He loves to be
outside and chase our two cats and
four kittens. He is quite husky and

big for his age but he obeys us and
only occasionally is tempted to do
things his way.
The other night his father came
for him, as he sleeps in his own
crib, and we all saw a big deer in
our backyard. It was dusk and it
moved cautiously until it came to
an open field where it disappeared
in the distance.
My Bible Study Group will
meet at our home this month. Now
that is a reason to do some extra
cleaning. And with a husband who
works on the farm and drags home
bits of hay and shredded newspap
er plus a young child who puts his
hands all over the big glass doors
there is a lot of work to get done.
Baking an apple cake for
refreshments will be a pleasure as
that is a job that I enjoy doing.
