Wet July

     It's been a wet July here in Mississippi and I have no complaints. My herb garden is doing great and my others are hanging in there. A while back I talked to Mr. Mack across the street and he said his brother is in the dirt business. I've about gotten all of my truckload of sand where I need it so a truckload of dirt will be my next major project
     If Mack's brother can save me a few dollars on a truckload of dirt, I'm all for that. I'm still working on getting my riding mower/garden tractor running again. Having that on my side would make moving a load of dirt so much easier than moving the sand by the wheel barrow load was.

     I saw on TV a while back a show about a fella who got some plastic buckets and offered them to his neighbors to put their kitchen scraps in. He collected and replaced them with fresh buckets every week. He then composted the scraps and sold the stuff (mostly back to his neighbors).
     That sounds like something I could do easily enough (and so could you). I'll ask the ladies in the bakery department at work to save their buckets for me and ask my neighbors to fill them for me. Regular trash pickup here is Monday & Thursday, bulk pickup of furniture, appliances & tree trimmings is Wednesday so I reckon my pickup on Saturday would work best for all.

     I've met but 4 or 5 of my neighbors since I've been here and 1 has already pissed me off. Anyway, I'll either print or hand write enough cards to cover the 11 houses on my cul-de-sac and pass them out, see what response I get and go from there.
