Pallet Composting March 4, 2008

I was so thrilled to set up my pallet compost bin today.

Yensi (our nanny) and Luis (our gardener) helped.

Here are the photos:

I have to say — I think it is stunningly beautiful. I think Yensi thought I was a bit of a lunatic. I kept saying, “Isn’t it beautiful?”

I’m just so excited to have a place to throw my garbage. It’s been sitting around in bowls for months.

In the process of putting in the compost bin, we needed to move a lemon tree:

I think it’s much happier in it’s new spot. A lot more sun!

And we get to enjoy it here — I positioned the chairs around it so we can sit in the sun and honor the shrine of lemons.

    Isn’t it funny how happy a simple compost bin makes us? I told Seth he is very lucky that things like this make me happy. Some women spend all their time in the mall and require diamonds and fancy dinners.
