Dedication to Dirt

OK.  This is not a school story, but it's about dedication to dirt, so I had to tell it.  This week we have moved down south to the beautiful Denmark.  From my office I can see the trees and hear the birds and there is not a car in sight!  In moving all of our stuff, we had a dilemma - what were we going to do with all our lovingly created compost?  We couldn't just leave it there!  (A house is going to be built in the spot where we had our compost, so we knew the new occupants wouldn't use it).  So, we gathered our dirt, packed it all in to a box, and put it in the truck to Denmark, to be used for our vege garden down here.  When I told some Millennium Kids about our plans to transport our dirt, they were really grossed out! Let me reassure you, the compost did not smell, it was not disgusting and our garden will love us for it.  And the best part?  No waste!!!  Happy New Year everyone.  Ingrid.
