Composting and Gardening Project


Kathy and David, a couple visiting from Ohio, started a composting and gardening project at the local high school, Ocean Academy.  Go Kathy!  Go David!  Not exactly sure how this came about, but Tommy volunteered to take over when they leave.  The teachers here are overwhelmed and there really wasn't anyone to keep it up and monitor it, so Tommy stepped in.  Go Tommy!  He is also looking at this as an opportunity to learn about composting, something we had been hoping to do on a grander scale than our previous backyard pilings (eaten by the land crabs every night).  The other day he took Egan with him to the school; here are a couple of pics...

Happy Birthday Tommy!

We're back! Okay, we've been here the whole time but haven't been blogging because my computer went blah on me like 2 days after my previous post in June. We finally received a new motherboard, Tommy put it together and now I'm back in business.

Today is Tommy's birthday! The celebration so far has included homemade (by me!) fluffy pancakes, signing documents in front of a Justice of the Peace (at his house 4 doors down from us) and doing laundry and hanging it on the line. Pina Coladas soon to be mixed.

Egan and I figured out a way to get the land crabs to come out of their holes.....poke a delicious piece of grass near the edge. Fun!

Documents? Oh, that. Something big is afoot. Something good. I'll tell you soon...
