Happy Earth Day!

I love bein' green. The real green, not the fake green that is being marketed to everyone (like buying a brand new backpack made from recycled water bottles instead of getting a second hand backpack from Value Village). We celebrated Earth Day by emptying our compost containers into our garden. S and E were facinated with the giant worms that were in our compost bins. Then S, E, and I planted daisy seeds in recycled egg cartons, with recycled food scrap compost mixed in our recycled sandbox with dirt from our garden. We finished off another beautiful afternoon with a visit from L. Isn't it nice when a 20 year old comes home to ask her dad for help with her math? And then does school work at the table with her little brother?
