Two things that I meant to tell you at one point

1. Last weekend, when I was walking to get groceries, I kept seeing people with wheelbarrows or garbage cans, and shovels. The first one didn't really register, but by the tenth or so, I was super curious. Turns out it was Community Compost Day, which I discovered when I passed the GIANT pile of compost in a local park (the compost came from the city, created through the green bin (organics recycling) program). The people were gardeners, trundling over there with whatever they had to get some free compost. I was entertained (and happy to see that pretty much everyone walked over, rather than driving).

2. I don't remember the second. I've had this open all day, thinking I'd remember, and I didn't, so one thing will have to do!

That's so ace!

It made me wish I had a garden, so I could join the wheelbarrow parade.

But it's a brilliant one thing! We put stuff in our green bins because it's a Good Thing To Do, but it's both positive and fun to see a result like that.

I especially liked that the Giant Pile of Compost had all these bright yellow signs sticking out of it, proclaiming that it was Community Compost Day. And that on my way back from the grocery store, the signs had started to list, as the compost was taken away.
