Wow! I haven't bogged in weeks! This won't be much of a post, but more of a little "hello" to let you know that I am still here.
I'm happy to share that I've crossed a few very simple items off my list! Both #31 and #32 are now complete. At Nicole's suggestion in her comment, I created a very simple compost area using a circle of chicken wire partly buried in the ground (this to keep the puppy and other marauders out). So far it has been dog safe, but whenever something goes in that smells good to her, Katie lies on the ground next to it with her nose up to the wire and whines pitifully!
Item #32 was easily acheived by buying a pair of plain old men's black rubber boots (taller than the cute ladies' boots and therefore much better for wading through the creek) for $8. However, on the same day, in the same store, my husband dropped $465 for a pair of special order Whites boots, so our average purchase price rose substantially! Note that this is not a complaint, though, simply an exclamation over the fact that it is even possible to spend that much on boots! But, they will hike many many dirty, smelly, sooty, miles all over the western states this summer and are quite vital to his livelihood. I'll stick to my creek wading, thank you!

let's see a photo of the compost pile!!
Hahaha! I'll wait til there is at least some pretty green around it first - it's not the prettiest sight that you'll ever see!
Wow - I didn't know it was possible to spend that much on boots either....although I almost bought a pair of whites for winter riding when we were stranded in Montana in February. They were super nice and comfy and were only like $120....but considering why we were there its a good thing I didn't spend any more money :D
What are whites?
whites are super heavy duty work boots. They're popular with wildland firefighters and loggers.
you are SO adventerous for a mama-to-be!!! where do you get the energy to even think about a compost and crossing things off a list??? you amaze me!
