The Ides of March... one day late

The Ides of March one day late.

With a nice warm day behind us I can reflect on how we spend our spring days.  With my Hill City neighbors to encourage me (make me feel guilty) I now have our small yard raked, the part we mow anyway.  I am not about to start raking the upper back part of the yard as it is natural forest.  I am envisioning the green grass and warm wind of summer.  My green thumb starting to throb so I built my free, no work and simple to build compost pile  http://www.blackhillsgarden.com/index.php?p=1_7_Composting-in-tire-towers.  This will make a nice, easy  place for the Hill City Home renters to put compost material (food scraps, coffee grounds with filters, etc.).  The more soil I can make the better our garden will be in addition to the less we put in the landfill the more we benefit.
