It's been a lovely couple of days here. After some pretty chilly nights and a secret fear that winter was upon us, I've been glad to enjoa some sunny, mild autumn evenings. Yesterday I spent the dwindling daylight hours weeding and tonight I spent the evening composting. The warm weather has brought out the ladybugs, who always make me smile, even if they are invasive orange asian biting ladybugs.
Another thing to make me smile was being asked to talk to some funding reps while I was shovelling compost at Foodshare. I got a chance to enthuse at them about the work I was doing, and I think I made a good impression.
Also at Foodshare tonight, my compost mentor Mike mentioned tonight that a local school had asked him to recommend a reliable compost volunteer for their onsite composting program, and he gave them my name. The school is in my neighborhood, and apparently has a pretty good rooftop garden. I'm looking forward to more details.
