It is Earth day again...already? This year has just flow by.
So have I become more eco-friendly? I would like to say yes, but really it is Richard who heads that department in our family. After are mostly successful garden that we planted WAY too early last year, it has really been a passion of Richard's. So much that this year he bought a composter. Now we are saving food scraps and lawn clipping to make our own wonderful and enriched soil.
Let me tell you that I am glad this is something Richard wanted. This is a stinky venture he has created. Well only when you open the composter, ours is fully enclosed. I do have to deal with our counter top composter though.
This little can has filters in the lid, so it doesn't get all stinky just sitting on the counter, but boy when you open that lid it sure is ripe if it doesn't get emptied every day.
The kids absolutely love this. They help turn the composter and they always want to know if this food or that can go into it. Bradley thinks it is crazy that egg shells and coffee grinds can go in, but steak and candy can't.
As for me, I want to some kind of project in honor of Earth Day. I have chosen a pretty adventurous project. Hopefully I can get it finished in time and that it turns out like I see it. My idea....
But my fall back tribute to Earth Day will be dirt cups desserts. Very easy and safe. Bradley has been asking for them, so why not?
