Lots of rain means I don’t have to bother watering the garden. I have a new appreciation for rain now that it lets me off the hook.

I’ve written five poems during September. I’m only counting the ones that I’ll keep.

Today I learned to make compost tea and am the proud mama to several (how many!?) red wriggler worms. Eek. I am concerned about killing them by accident. Evidently, they like to eat paper and coffee grounds. Feeding them sounds easy enough. Paper should not be too hard to add to their bucket, right? As a writer, I should have plenty of paper around.

The worms are hanging out in my living room. My husband is VERY understanding.
