Still Down Here




I love to hang out the wash here, very satisfying quick results. Our little side yard is coming along. I now have a compost pile and will be able to enrich this rocky soil somewhat. The rich and dark soil is mid-island, here its more like the desert but will support aloes, cactus, and bougainvillea. I do have rosemary as well.
My little camera can not really capture how beautiful the ski can be. There were a lot of rain showers out there but you can not see them very well. Françoise I'm sure you could capture this better.
Day after day, the fool(s) on the hill. Here we are on our hill, lovely to be here too. Wed we are flying North and hope we don't get stuck in San Juan due to cancellations. Will give it our best shot, had hoped to thread our way through various storms. Will be very happy to see the grands, snow forts, igloos, walls of snow.

You're so lucky to be in the Caribbean all winter when it is so grey in Paris...
Jake is very proud of you for having a compost; he has been trying to make one in our courtyard for all the neighbourhood but people didn't want it!

I think folks are sometimes afraid there will be a bad smell but if you are putting veg, leaves, grass, dirt, egg shells etc and no meats and fats it will break down well and smell very good I think. I have never followed a rigid plan and have made it for years in NJ. nothing better and its free Mary O is a champion composter, Mare put in your two cents here.

Composting really cuts down on your carry out trash. I love that about composting. We eat very little meat and since there's no vegetable matter in the trash (b/c we compost it), all that's left is some plastic wrapping that we can't recycle. Less trash to the landfill. I wonder how much people pay for trash removal. Maybe that's a "plus" that the neighbors would consider.

I love looking up through the trees. I miss green. Everything is white here. You'll see. . .

Bill that sounds like a haiku from hell.

Winter never ends
Families churn together
Ativan is good.

Hope Laura feels better and the sun comes out.
