Slow Compost

Maybe it is the cold weather, but it seems the compost is sure slow. At this rate, I can never make enough for the yard needs. There is no smell other than an earthy one, so I guess things are progressing ok. When you hear that you can make compost in 6 weeks, I have come to believe they are exaggerating a bit. Maybe if all the materials were chopped into tiny bits that would be so.

We are enjoying a warm-up and I hope it is extending to you too. The nights dip into the 20's but the days are up to the 60's. Bridget had another attack yesterday. She is still not eating and just sleeps a lot. They are always so scary and I always wonder if she will recover. Poor little girl. She is such a sweet heart and such a beautiful dog. Everyone that sees her comments about her looks.

I am off today to a yarn shop that is having a 25% off sale. I want to pick up some needle punch yarn while it is on sale. Diane is going with me so it will be fun. It is still way to wet to work in the yard unfortunately. I notice that the daffodil flower buds are really swelling and should start blooming pretty soon. Next year I definitely plan to add more as I just love seeing the yellow cheery flowers herald spring.
