I Got Dirt!
Hubby finally got a couple hours so we could go get my compost. You can tell he did not come from a gardening family! Rather than appreciate the merits of good compost, all he did was complain about the “aroma.” He didn’t even want to touch it to tie the tarp down. It was funny! I grew up hauling compost all over Grandma’s garden, but all he did was get creeped out about it. This is a man who can fix an x-ray machine in an operating room during an operation, and think it’s really “cool,” but gets creeped out by a little compost. Go figure?!?
After we finally got it home, I had to go get a neighbor kid and pay him to help me dump it in the garden bed, cuz hubby was not gonna do that, uh uh, no way, not gonna happen. Still gotta go get the rest of my ingredients, but by the end of the weekend, my babies should at last have a place to call home!
My poor muscles are really complaining about the unaccustomed work, too. Been a long time since this old gal shifted so much dirt around, and I can definitely feel it.
In other news, the Monster Mud pot is still drying, looking good so far, and the morning glories are starting to grow and twine around the upside down tomato cage.
And there were two Stargate movies on Sci-Fi TV tonight. Woo-Hoo! I miss that show so much.
What is it with husbands and compost? Mine always complains about the “crap” I haul in his pickup. To me it doesn’t stink, it smells like good earth and healthy vegetables!
I agree, but if they don’t get it, there’s no way that’s gonna change at this late date. LOL
I was playing in my compost bin today. When hubby got home I was all excited to show him the dirt I made… I put some in my hand for him to take a smell… he liked it! I’m a lucky girl

Yea, you are! I was outside turning some more stuff into the garden bed, and he came out to ask me a question. I kept shoveling, and he barely waited for my answer before he said, “God, that stinks.” He beat feet back into the house. I just shook my head and laughed. The only part of the process he’s interested in is the eating part! LOL…
The style of writing is very familiar to me. Have you written guest posts for other bloggers?
No, it’s just me. I just write how I am. I guess I’m like alot of people, so it sounds familiar.
