Ok, fill me in on this yogurt. Why are you putting it on your clay pots?

We keep ice cream buckets by the coffee maker to fill with grounds and peelings. When full, they get tossed onto the garden. It’s up to Mother Nature to do her own composting since we don’t have the room for a bin.

KWYM about limitations and not being able to do as we once could. I didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when the cashier this week gave me a senior citizen discount. When did I get old?

We got “old” when they started hiring teeny-bopper cashiers.
- I got a thick skin somewhere along the line and just
ignore a lot of “stuff” that used to hurt my feelings. -
I AM OLD, and hope to get even older. - I was trying to get
an antiqued sort of finish on my clay pots. Guess they
meant to use PLAIN yogurt and not the sweetened kind with
fruit. - Momma used to toss stuff like that straight on the
garden & it did OK. We have a compost bin that breaks stuff
down now. We’ve done it for 30 years. I put a lot of stuff
in the bin - even cut up wore out cotton fabric into small
pieces and that breaks down. I do toss a few meat scraps
that the dog can’t eat onto the compost; but we’re now
where no animals can crawl down into the pile. I once
scooped a possum out of the bin. Had to pour clean water
over him he was covered in yuck! (I’m not fooling with
the yogurt on the clay pots any more as I’m getting more
where I don’t give a flip about “decorating” any more. I
do good to keep the filth swept out of the house these
days! Relax. You’re probably not old compared to us. Take
care of yourself!
