The Front Porch Swing

[lovingmyhens]

Just watched the drunken compost video. Very interesting.

I don't think I have enough stuff to compost around here. I only catch my grass in the fall to get rid of the bulk of the leaves I have and I dump them straight into my garden to compost over the winter. I may need to find a place to compost them this fall though since I want to try winter gardening. I am thinking about the pallet type though since it is nicely contained.

I just googled using pallets for compost bins and tons of images came up. Doesn't even look like you need a bottom. Just use the ground. So 3 pallets, 3 sides and that way you have one side open in the front in order to be able to turn it. I need 3 pallets. I saw some on the way from somewhere to somewhere and I thought as I passed them that I should remember where I was so I could come back and get them...don't remember where I was. Oh well, story of my life!!!!
Funny but for those of you who saw my original post asking about composting a few pages back, you may be confused as to why I mentioned that I was getting my fence moved back and so I wanted to compost. Well, when I re-read it I realized that it made no sense. I am having the fence moved back to my property line, where it should have been when the fence was put in in the first place, and THEN I will have room for a nice compost pile. I am worried about flies.

So dinner was wonderful! Had enough left overs for one or two more meals depending on what I do. The dogs will get a nice treat tomorrow, all the fatty stuff, on their dog food. The bones went in a bag and into the freezer to make chicken stock at some point. I still have two bags of frozen ice cube stock to use up. Thank God for chickens and thank God for The Front Porch!

yup-what she said!

My sister is in dripping springs...close to you???

We finally have a name to register for the pup, El Gordo of Camolot Farms! He is fat and Spanish is one of the languages in the area they are from. You Texas and So. Cal ladies will know the meaning of Gordo. It means fat and he is that. His nickname will be Gordie. Katy and Gordie are in the house for the first time tonight. They have made friends with the kitten and are having a good time. We are expecting rain tomorrow and I still haven't found a good solution to keep them dry. The back porch it is until I can build a shelter tomorrow. I wish I could figure out how to post pictures!

That is cool! We don't talk much anymore...she kinda got angry at me when I got mad at her for sharing her alcoholic beverage with my underage daughter. Yes, my daughter was almost 21, but seriously. I was pretty upset. My sissy is technically an alcoholic and has been for a long time, but doesn't really appreciate it when it is called to her attention. Which I did. So, we don't talk much anymore.
<sigh>
She is in a neighborhood rt off 289, I think it is...

Are you on your phone, computer or other device?
On the computer there are all sorts of icons rt above where you post your reply...kinda like the toolbar. Well, ok it is a toolbar. So, go to the square that have what looks like mountains and then a sun (or moon) in the top left hand corner. Click on that and you can choose a pic you have on the device you are using. If you have a pic on your phone, and you are using your computer, you will have to send the pic from your phone to your computer and save it. Then you can upload it from the icon on the toolbar. But you should have that icon on all the devices you use when you get on BYC.
