One of my 3 compost bins has been emptied out and spread on the vegetable garden. The triple benefit is:- i now have one empty bin--a place to throw the winter's kitchen waste
- the spring chore of spreading compost has already been done
- someone got some exercise and kept warm while she was shoveling out the compost bin
November is a great time to do some spring chores, sort of like prepping for a big dinner party days (or months!) ahead.
How do we prep ourselves for the coming winter season?
- We can prune our collection of stuff. Recycle the stuff we haven't used in the past 12 months.
- We can focus on the mission statement of our lives. What's most important to the purpose of our life?
- Get some exercise.
Several of my friends are in the Heavenly Messenger program at Spirit Rock Meditation Center this week. http://www.spiritrock.org/heavenlymessengers
Heavenly messengers are all around us, telling about aging, illness, and death. One of their names is November. Another is Compost.
Are we listening?
