It was a beautiful day so we spent time with the kids outside playing at the park and enjoying the weather.  This has been fun to do and although I'll continue with my activities, it does help make it more manageable when some aren't required every day.

will be so nice to have a warm house again! lol.  ended up emptying 3 coffee baskets in the compost bin yesterday, and 2 so far today.  Scentcy warmer uses more electricity than I thought.  will record a few other house items with it over the weekend.

What a great experience.  Thanks Beaverton Greenies- we did a great job for our first Challenge.  Thanks too to NWEI!

Whew, can't wait to go back to leaving all the lights on, running water while I brush my teeth and eating meals full of meat, that I waste half of! Just kidding, this has been a lot of fun, though a times a struggle to keep up with all my actions. I happy to have taken part in this and look forward to holding on to a few of these actions.

Eggshell heads with succulents for hair.  Very fragile project😬  Kids wanted to take them to bed.  Lol

We were finally able to get everyone together for 20 minutes to take a group photo. Here we are gathered around the big drum that holds our thousands of red wriggler worms. They live in and eat the shredded and dampened corrugated cardboard from the pizza boxes that come through our building. Those boxes would otherwise be trashed and sent to a landfill due to the grease and food remnants. These little guys prevent that, and their waste makes for a fantastic fertilizer!

No furnace again yesterday/last night.  got Kill a watt reading for the computer & now it is measuring the scentcy warmer.  Emptied 2 coffee ground baskets to the compost.
