well we were just full of it today!!!! we went to a good friend of ours house today, janelle kaul, and got a truck load of cow manure and straw. we are getting ready for our garden in the spring. i am trying to learn more and more about all this gardening stuff. i am so excited for it. my back is a bit sore already from shoveling wheelbarrow after wheelbarrow. really todd did 80% of the work though. jake was a bit fussy and i had to take care of him. but i finally got him to sleep and was able to take over the hard part. todd was worn out by all the work. we've been doing a lot to prepare for this garden.
the other day we made a compost pile container. well todd made it and i held the baby, but we worked together on the design. it is awesome!!!! todd gathered leaves from near my parents house, so that's our start to our pile. when it is all composted we will spread it around all the areas we are growing things. we are planning to grow all kinds of things. tomatoes, carrots, garlic, green beans, cucumbers, lettuce, strawberries, squash, zucchini, onions, potatoes, and more. we will see how it really goes.
i am kinda not focusing on todd and the new job. he starts soon and i am not ready. i really do that for a ton of things in my life. i don't think about it until i have to. so once he starts, i will have to think about it. right? i do that for labor too. don't think about it until i am in it. works out GREAT! not sure how that will work in this situation. i will try to think about it.... maybe tomorrow.
well, off to enjoy every minute of today. tomorrow will be here all to soon.

I love my compost pile. It cuts down on sooo much of your garbage disposal waste/trash. You can put eggshells, all produce waste, shredded napkins, and all kinds of good stuff in there.
We're working on our garden, too. I look forward to writing about mine and reading about yours next spring and summer!
I am looking forward to your compost and garden, too! Not to Todd's second job so much.
Sheesh, you're starting to sound as farmer-girl as 'Yetta... BANANA CHIPS?! Far out.
