OK I have read the OP and all the followups. I will offer empathy for the OP and guess that it was partly the surprise that she is responding to. She didn't expect chunks of concrete to be dumped in her beautiful almost done and ready to use carefully nurtured compost. In her mind it is ruined and she won't get to use it as she was looking forward to doing. Instead, she has to figure out what to do in an unfamiliar situation. Second, the squick factor. In the mind of the OP, this debris poses a hazard of unknown proportions. The unknown is always the most scary. There is a strong emotional component. Those of us who compost humanure have thought through the fate of our intestinal flora and come to a methodology of handling that feels safe. We have a method that we choose. We invest time and care because we value the resulting compost highly. The OP was given a situation that she didn't choose. And concrete chunks are unlikely to compost well. And as a last thought- my recommendation would be to collect the compost and concrete together and put in a far corner of the yard (under a tarp or mulch cover to encourage the earthworms) and forget about for a year or so. In a year, sieve out the concrete and reflect upon the blessings of having the whole trauma well behind you. Nancy in Oregon

Marveling over England's roads!
Q
Comments (24)
Mitchdesj, I do indeed feel so very blessed to be able to enjoy these "little excursions" with "Mum". We have always been such good friends, and these adventures only serve to cement our bond. It's so nice that we both enjoy the same things about England -- everyday village life, tea rooms, pubs, cute little shops. Maybe it goes way back to our ancestry, but there's just something "familiar" about being among the English people. Well, familiar and a bit foreign at the same time, which keeps it interesting. (If that makes any sense.) I'm linking to the website for Sticky End Cottage, in case anyone wants to see more. Remember the adorable cottage in the film "The Holiday"? I fell completely in love with that place, but I honestly think that Sticky End was every bit as good - and it's available to rent! :-D The owners were very sweet and ensured that our stay was perfectly enjoyable. Were it not for the fact that we want to visit Norfolk next year, we would not hesitate to return to this dear little cottage. Here is a link that might be useful: Sticky End Cottage in Cottesmore

Black friday crazy
Q
Comments (17)
Well I did go out for black Friday but not until 9 a.m. The angry crowds are gone by then and replaced by much nicer crowds. We got the same deals that happen at midnight. The only thing we couldn't get was the electronics but we were not looking for that anyway. My daughter and I didn't spend much. We each got a shirt and a pair of shoes and a couple of other small things. I even gave a stranger my $10 coupon that I wouldn't use. She was really grateful! The only problem I had was shopping with my daughter. I couldn't get her anything for Christmas but I did make a note of all the things she was wishing for. I needed ideas and I got them.

Waiting for Bill
Q
Comments (35)
I'm hoping to be asking the usual questions within the next couple of days. We've got to give all the folks in eastern and northeastern OK time to get Bill out of their hair first. Tonight Lake Texoma began going over the spillway again. The Washita River at Dickson in Carter County is at 46.5 tonight and expected to crest at a reord 47.5' tomorrow (though I haven't checked it in the last hour, so it may have changed), which will be almost 3' higher than their previous record. This is near-catastrophic flooding. They'd have to hit 48.0 to be considered in catastrophic flood. The Red River at Gainesville is expected to crest tomorrow at 39.5', just 0.6' below the all-time record. Tim said when he drove over the bridge this evening on his way to work, the water was the highest he's seen it and tried to describe it to me in terms of how it was about 3' from topping the concrete piers beneath the railroad bridge. Then, to make his point, he said "really, really high". When I think of all the horrible drought years when we would have given anything to have an inch of rain fall from the sky and we couldn't get even that little bit, and now.....there's water everywhere. Everywhere. It is mind-boggling. Every time you think the flooding is as bad as it can get, it gets worse. It is unfortunate that our weather swings wildly from one extreme to the other instead of sort of staying middle-of-the-road. Oklahoma weather does not do middle-of-the-road very often. I want to work in the garden tomorrow, but if there's still water standing in the pathways, I'll stay inside and clean house instead. I bet the heat index numbers are going to be awful across the state the next few days.

That is the feeling of many of us who just got pounded with yet another snow storm.

A couple of days ago - the large snow banks that had been around for a while had pretty well disappeared.

Then ... we had some rain, freezing rain and snow.

Yesterday when I looked out of the bedroom window ... there was about a four-inch round line of snow along the clothesline.

I expected that it would have gone ... but this morning it was still there.

I was surprised.

By the way - I hope that this kid gets some exercise soon ... for s/he's already on the edge of being obese.

What's our world coming to, anyway!

Now that is a REAL LOL.

If I used screen savers that would be perfect right now. I was able to sit out on my front porch a couple days ago. Now I'm in here with the heat on.

Bah, humbug!
