So my 2nd oldest comes home on weekends from college now and spent the day with us for her 20th birthday (her birthday was Tuesday but she had school and work so she is here Wednesday night thru Thursday!) Unlike the stereotype student bringing home their dirty laundry Sarah cooks for us and eagerly seeks work in the garden! She is studying accounting and business management so she can manage the farm. This is a pic I had to sneak while she worked in the garden. My wife, my four daughters and yes even my son-in-law, fill my heart with so much love, words fail me... I count myself blessed beyond measure or worth.

Update: Thanks to loyal readers and supporters for your patience while The Other Toledo upgrades daily delivery to email inboxes. Meanwhile, I will continue to post Daily Columns at The Other Toledo, and post links to Facebook and Twitter.
Your understanding is appreciated during construction.
Learning curve = coffee + testing.

Worm composting is a process in which red wiggler worms, insects and micro-organisms are used to convert kitchen waste, such as fruit rinds and vegetable peelings into nutrient-rich humus. Learn how to enrich your gardens with this "black gold," and make your own worm compost bin. Supplies are provided, but there is a limit of one worm bin per family, please. Make sure you sign up for the class, so we have enough supplies for everyone. Call 360-740-1216 to register or email art.fuller@lewiscountywa.gov.
Hosted by Lewis County Solid Waste Utility and Salkum Timberland Library
