Com-posting!

Yes, this post is going to be about....compost! Fortunately, there are giant compost piles located within the community garden. I have spent many hours in my garden pulling weeds and digging up dead plants from the previous owner. I took two wheel barrels overflowing with weeds to the composting pile and brought back two wheel barrels full of compost to mix into my soil-a fair trade I must say! I am loving every minute in my garden and I am often surprised at how fast the time goes by. As I put so much time and effort into helping my garden grow, I thought about how much I need to grow. I have used this gardening time to try and better myself by listening to General Conference talks, 'Conversations' on the Mormon Channel (which I highly recommend), and I just finished listening to the audio book, 'Unbroken', which was very inspiring! Sometimes I go there unplugged and just listen to the birds chirp, and the cars drive by, and I think about life and how blessed I am! :)
After coming home from composting I cleaned up and got ready for the day (or rather the evening), and just before I was about to leave I noticed something in my bathroom sink...I apparently brought home a tick from my garden! I was glad that I didn't find it on me, but I immediately felt itchy and gross, what if there were more? I went downstairs and asked my roommate to look through my hair to make sure there wasn't one hiding on my scalp ready to suck my blood and give me Lyme disease. Luckily, we didn't find any more ticks. I was quite surprised that ticks were out this early, I will have to be more careful from now on!

PS: I would love any recommendations for good audio books to listen to!
