Lately, I've been trying to be a little more environmentally conscious. Eric makes fun of me and calls me, "Captain Planet," but in all serious I think it's important to be aware of our environmental footprint in this very disposable culture. Part of that for our family included starting a compost bin. I drilled holes in a rubbermaid tub and have been putting our fruit and vegetable waste in there to make nutrient dense compost for our garden. Today we were doing some yard clean up, and I decided to find a new home for my bin now that the weather is nicer. When I moved it, we found a whole pile of nature's little garbage destroyers....several earthworms, pill bugs, and even a centipede. Nolan was enthralled with watching all the critters and before I knew it, he was holding them and talking to them. I love how much he likes to learn! Right now, his top career choices are an etymologist (bug scientist), paleontologist, or a helicopter pilot! Dream big, buddy!
