I had to backlog from Friday but have made sure to get in most of my goals! I am surprised at how easy it actually is to take a 5 minute shower! Composting is still confusing to me, I researched online and thought my green bin could be yard debris AND compost but it looks different than the bins posted online (and nowhere on it does it mention compost...) so not sure! Have to do some more digging online.

  Man, I had the toughest time taking 5 minute showers. I still think if you're over 6 feet tall you should get an extra minute! More surface area and those feet are so dang far away. :)
  I'd check out the Metro website and see what they say about composting in Beaverton.
