Make like a tree and leave

I've been in a cyclone of uncertainty for a while now.   Things and people I thought I knew and had a handle on have turned upside down.  Some of the ideals I thought were bed rock facts have been shaken.

 But you can only control what you can control, right?  So, I've been making compost.  If you don't see the logic flow, I don't blame you.

  But I've always wanted a flourishing vegetable garden, and it's fall,  and compost is made of leaves that breakdown to feed a garden.  You dont need money, just time and energy.  I have bits of time, and bursts of energy, and no money.

Leaves and more leaves

That is 5 bags brown paper leaf bags, 15 kitchen bags, and 53 big garbage bags.  Amazingly, my former RSP and her husband, the bishop, dropped off almost all of these.  10 came from a friend, Andrew raked up the yards of two neighbors, and i raked our own yard.  

And used grounds from a coffee shop.


And a birthday gift from Andrew: a pitchfork.

So, if Armageddon does happen, I'll have a kick ass vegetable garden to feed the family next summmer.  Or at least closer.
