Spring

Just some pictures of the kids and Zeppo out in the yard. The weather for the last three weeks has swung wildly from hot summer days, to snow and freezing nights. It's made it really hard to organize the kid's dressers when they go from wearing shorts one day, to jackets and mittens the next. Hopefully, we're past that now.


Last picture of Claire with long hair, we got it chopped right after this picture.



I'll take some pictures of the yard soon. Dan went crazy mowing this week to try to reclaim some of the yard for a veggie garden. We bought seeds today, so we need to get moving on that soon. We also want to put a compost pile there, and need to get supplies for that. Plus, we added some more flowers to our flower patch today.

The next step is a classic white picket fence for the front yard, so Zeppo can go out without a leash, and so the neighbor dogs won't be able to add their poop to our yard. It's poopy enough.

I saw your twit on composting. You can use all egg shells, vegetable scraps (except potato and onion skins), all fruit scraps (except banana peels), shredded wood and newspaper, unfertilized grass and leaves, manure, and coffee grounds. No oils or animal fats. But if you were DG you would say fish skins are good. I stay away from that though.
