My composting adventures all started about 9 years ago when our local Penn State Cooperative Extension office offered a free composting bin (the round one in the picture) when you attended their free composting seminar. I have a system going, but I am a laid back composter. Usually, I'm wearing my bathrobe.

Before kids, I spent my free-time volunteering at a stray rescue shelter for dogs. After I had kids, I swapped that time to growing all sorts of interesting heirloom foods in my backyard. This doesn’t include the many free in-library activities we’ve enjoyed over the years. My garden. Purple raspberries from my garden.
