Prince and the Pea!

"Look, see throne bedz mai mom makez for me? Me comfy, sleep now, go awayz!" Truly a lucky boy, but he doesn't know it. If there was a pea in there, do you think he'd feel it? Bhu never knows when a pile of quilts is gonna show up and he is always ready to "test" it. This one looks slightly tipsy, but I think he's figured out exactly where his butt should be so he doesn't fall over!
The compost tea harvest has slowed down a bit as the weather cooled off. It's hot again, so I'm reserving some empty liter bottles for the next harvest. I gave someone a bottle of the Skypants Compost Tea (Undiluted) and she put it on her office plants and exclaims that over the weekend her plants grew two inches. This is unconfirmed, but I have no reason to not believe it. Nevertheless, you can see the composter is in a cozy spot; very unobtrusive.

Overnight our town has grown by 30,000, all under 22. Suddenly, there are traffic accidents everywhere, it takes 15 minutes to drive a block and a half, and the boom boom never stops. Mark reports the tailgate tents were up already last night.

Feeling a little better! Love & Hugs to you all! xxoo P

Will Work for Diet Dr. Pepper

TA DA!!! Here is the Hero Husband (Lazy Husband took the day off) next to the compost tumbler that he and I just assembled (he doing the hard work, me reading the instructions). Let me say, having a compost tumbler is a life-long dream and I am BEYOND THRILLED! If you are thinking about getting one of these, let me caution you: the company's interpretation of "some assembly required" is quite lax. I interpret SAR to mean that most of the bigger things are already together and, at best, you'll need a screwdriver and after fifteen minutes it's done. WRONG!!! VERY, VERY, VERY WRONG! This was completely unassembled: every screw, nut, bolt, rod . . . all undone. If I'd known how MUCH assembly was required, I doubt I would have ordered this, nor would I have been willing to pay $231 for it. Okay, so these are the exact words I'm using when I write to the company. But, it's here, we are already using it and you can stay tuned for a report on the compost and compost tea it produces!
