I'm taking tomorrow off (from my responsibilities). I'm going to do nothing but rest my foot and maybe take a bath in the huge bathtub that I don't use nearly enough, and maybe stir up my compost. Maybe.
Today my school went on a field trip to Leu Gardens--what a beautiful day for such a thing--it was cool and sunny, and just perfect. I always enjoy field trips with my families, I think it's interesting to see them in different setting.
Yesterday, I took Kaleigh to the dump (I call it that to mortify her, of course, it's really the landfill) to get four huge bins full of compost FOR FREE!! Yea! Now I have a lovely pile of finished compost next to my very slow-working compost bin. Have I mentioned how much I love compost? I think so. Anyway, I made Kaleigh go with me, which was a fate worse than death to her, and she sat and glared at me while I shoveled four huge bins of compost into my car, smiling the whole time. She told me that she doesn't think she should have to go to the dump with me at all, since it's disgusting. I pointed out that the compost is NOWHERE near any garbage, and it's a nice grassy area with a pile of dirt on it. She remains unconvinced. Maybe I'll make her go again tomorrow.
Does rotted garbage make everyone this happy?
I'm going to read tonight and just relax. My foot hurts from walking, and think I will work on a few small Christmas presents for my grandkids tonight. Maybe knitting or sewing.
