First, we finally started our composting. Since it’s the end of our garden for the year, we’re doing the “dump and bury” method suggested to me earlier by 32 Flavors.  Next year in the spring we’ll probably go for the more complex method Midwest Mom told me they do.

Second, I decided what I want to be when I grow up. A weatherwoman. Seriously, it’s got to be the best job in the world. You’d never get fired. Ever, even if you blew (no pun intended). Our weather yesterday was supposed to be overcast and rainy. There wasn’t a cloud in the sky. And so what does a meteorologist say? “Well, folks, look like we got lucky and missed that storm!”

And if it was supposed to be sunny and it rained and stormed, all they’d have to say is, “Wow, that storm caught us by surprise…due to the pressure from the north mixed with the westerly breeze, it just popped up out of nowhere.”

You’d always be right, no matter what the situation would be….so I guess it’s kinda like being a woman

So, since we have a garden spot now, we thought it might be a good idea to learn how to compost. I’m not talkin’ about “having a huge pile of banana peels on the counter collecting flies until they decay and I can throw them into the ground already falling apart” composting. But I don’t want to spend tons of money with a high-tech gizmo either. Just somewhere in the happy middle with veggie peels, egg shells, and leftover vegetables in some sort of container that won’t drive the neighbors away.

If anyone has any ideas, I’d love to hear them. Or if you know of a great site I can go to, that’d be great, too. Any info is good! Our family is slowly turning green.
