I am ready to start my day and am very grateful for many things this morning. Earth Day, in my mind, is a time to reflect on what I have been given. I am not sure if many people believe that the Earth and all that she provides is a gift to us. The beauty of this planet is mind blowing. I am often in awe of the seasons and the changes that occur. The falling snow, the wind, the rain and the blooming flower.
For a moment, think of the something humbling that Mother Earth has given to you! I am sure it will not be hard.
Remember take only what you need and put back what you don’t.

Actually I delivered two bins today minus the Super Composting Red Wigglers. The weather this week has been rather silly! On Sunday, it was near 70, and today it was close to 40! Yucky for sure. The weather was not ideal, and I did not feel comfortable setting my red wigglers into their new homes. The worms will be delivered in about 2 weeks. By then, I hope the weather has improved and the nightime lows are above freezing.
My clients were very excited to get the bins even without the worms, knowing they can still compost. Food waste will be tossed into the bin and will begin to break down. So when the worms do arrive, the bedding will have food scraps for them to eat.
I am excited for this season of vermicomposting. I am scheduled to be at the Earth Day Fair this Saturday 4/24 in downtown Bend at the Environmental Center. There will be many local Earth loving people there!! Come down and say “Hi”.
More later! happy wormin’

This is such a wonderful, sweet, happy, adorable kid’s book. It’s actually a book for anyone who wants to laugh and learn some cool info about worms.
Doreen Cronin writes informative info about worms and how much they have to offer in such a fun way. The book is written in a diary format. Harry Bliss has amazing illustrations, and is able to make a worm look “cute”!!! I’m all about the cute factor.
So if you have time, and you’re looking for a fun, easy read for yourself, your kids or your students. Pick up the book!!!
Forgot to mention, I do read this book to the students when I visit Bend’s Schools. Enjoy!!! Click below to buy the book at Powells.

I am excited to put my hands back into the bins, and my mind back into worm mode. That part of my brain and life has been on vacation as my worms were taking their much needed winter’s rest.
During the winter, I have been chilling with my family and working at my day job. Now, I am ready to add that familiar spice to the mixture of my life! Worms are awesome. They bring so much to my life by connecting me to some really neat people.
My goal is April to be up and running once again!

I am constantly thinking about these red wigglers.
I think about them when I wake up, when I make coffee, when I make breakfast, lunch and dinner. I think about them especially when I am snacking.
They are constantly on my mind. Geeeezzzzz.
I think I may love my red wigglers as much as I love my kids and husband.
Weird!
