More Food Waste

Before leaving for his training on Saturday, DH brought the food waste outside in the garden. It would be nice if we can have a little refrigerator under the sink to keep it cool and not stink the kitchen. Anyway, anytime it starts smelling, we have to take it out. We keep the house as cold as we can stand it, but the summer we leave warm as the temperature outside except for the classroom where 8 computers are running 24 hours 7 days a week.

We had a very nice Friday and Saturday. Everything melted where the sun can see. Sunday is cloudy and it rained in the afternoon. We will never get the garden set-up with all the wet or frozen ground. And you know spring, rain, rain, and more rain. We might end up hauling dirt from somewhere just to have a garden this year. That would be a lot of work for DH.

I guess we just have to wait and see.

17 Pounds of Food

DH empty our food bucket that weight 17 pounds. The ground here was very wet yesterday and today it is very hard because our temperature is in the single digit. DH covered the rotting food with turf to keep the wild animals from eating it. We really don't mind then eating it but we figure that they will keep coming back when our garden is done in the spring. They might ruin our garden or worst eat everything we are going to grow there.

Hopefully with the cold weather they will not smell it. We probably have to dig a trench again to keep the water running in our garden. We don't know where the end will land but hoping away from the garden.

I am getting cold sitting in front of my pc right now. I think it's time to put a second pair of socks just about now. Tomorrow I am thinking about using our above ground pool to ice skate. What do your think? I think we might brake it with our ice skate and have a big block of ice in the backyard until spring. That would be so funny.
