Cross Country and Football

This Friday, Veteran's Day, James ran with the big boys.  He, as our dear reader knows, is a second grader, and had been invited to up the next level.  He ran a 3/4 mile with the 3-4th Graders along with one other second grader.  He ran a cool 5:49 to come in 54th out of 136.  It's a great result following lots of hard work and dedication over the season.

Then Saturday he finished off the football season with a post-season double header. They won the first, and lost the second.  He got one handoff on a reverse and advanced at least 10 yard for a first down.  It was a positive experience, even though we came in when the season was half way over.

On the garden, we dug into the container with the mangos.  The contents are nearly completely composted and there are good worms.  We moved the mango trees to their own bucket and moved hte melons around.  Almost every tree in the backyard has its own bucket.

I got 4 bags of coffee grounds from the Hastings plaza Starbucks.   I asked for food waste at teh Hastings Jamba Juice and got the run around. We'll keep trying.
