| Brussels sprouts, jack-o-lanterns, sour plums that got squishy without ever getting sweet, the liner from the bottom of the bird cage, corn husks, and corn cobs. |

| I have some potting soil that has fungus gnats. If I get this dirt into a hot enough pile, the gnats will be toast, right? But even if that dirt doesn't get hot enough, the garden worms and spiders and everything else will take care of the gnats, right? If I understand things, gnats are only a function of sterile, indoor containers, right? But I will also be composting kitchen scraps, a pumpkin and a lot of grass and leaves. |

| A bunch of punkins snagged from the towns compost pile. I think I have a problem... BUT, running them down with the lawn mover is FUNNNN. |

| Four bags of leaves. Big deal? Well, sort of. Visited our daughter and grandson over the weekend. Drove back and forth to D.C. from Vermont, and since there were lots of leaves in front of her Georgetown apartment, and since we had lots of room in the car, and since I'm a composting enthusiast, and since you can never ever, ever have enough organic matter, the leaves are comfortly warming up in my toasty compost bin this morning in chilly Vermont. My wife thinks I need help but I knew you guys would understand. |

| I'm not sure of the mileage between VT and D.C. but on the map it looks darned impressive. I'm thinking a bigger vehicle so you can haul more might be in order? And yes, we do understand, completely. :-) Lloyd |

| Cooking for tomorrow, as I'm homesick and haven't had a thanksgiving spread for about 15 years. Doing it up right, with the bird, pumpkin pie, apple pie, peas, butternut squash, cornbread stuffing. So all of the kitchen scraps have added up to two containers, plus the coffee, plus the very old rice, plus the rinds, cores, etc of the whole shebang. Should have about 10 folks around the table, and me the only American in the bunch. There should be leftovers and more stuff for the pile by the weekend! |

| My Mom went to a big party last night and brought me a big trash bag of leftover rice and vegetables for my pile. They're now in there with Starbucks coffee grounds, a dead plant and 4 bags of leaves from down the street, with rainwater from my barrel. |

| All of my dad's Thanksgiving kitchen scraps, as well as shredded up tomato and bush bean plants from his garden. Tons of old bread, coffee grounds and tea bags. Plus some shredded house plants and plenty of leaves, grass and sod. |
