Which are large but the rubbish bin which is black is only emptied twice a month. Then we have a brown bin which is for all our garden rubbish and then a blue bin which is for recycling. Our local council has now introduced a new bin, a small green one with a lockable lid, for food waste!
We also have a small grey bin which sits in the kitcehn to collect the waste. Now Miss Coco thinks this grey bin is her own personal snack bin (!) and keeps trying to get into it although fortunately it is lockable too! At the moment when I am in it sits next to the kitchen bin on the floor but I think we are going to have to pick it up when we are out, just in case she decides to try and open it! Airedales are clever little so-and-so’s and I am sure given a few hours she would have worked out how to get in it!!!!!
April 1st!
I have been working all day today although I was supposed to be doing home jobs(!) and tomorrow I am at Eldest;s so home jobs will now get done on Good Friday! In the morning it is due to rain and hopefully clear up by the afternoon so I can get it done then and get into the garden in the afternoon! Monday is supposed to be nice so that is the second day for the garden!
I hope you are having a lovely Wednesday, half way through the week and with a long holiday weekend coming up.
Hugs & Love, Susie & Coco xx
Coco is quite the clever girl!!! I’m sure she would help herself to treats if you left the bin out!! Why does your council want your food waste? My yard waste and food waste go into my compost pile to make new, wonderful dirt for planting!! I’d love a cow too! They would be lovely at keeping the grass at a respectable height and also leave behind fertilizer for you as well!! Do you know what breed of cows your local dairy has? I want a Jersey as they don’t give as much milk but a much high cream content in their milk. I’d like to make my own butter and cheese. There is always a list of jobs to be done, but you keep your home and garden looking so lovely, welcoming and warm. You would call it “homely”, I would call it “homey”. Funny how our common language can create shock, especially coming from the UK towards the US (no one wants to be homely…”a face only a mother could love” or “pudding face” comes to mind). I remember the metal bins – from my childhood as well. I miss them. My current bin is about half the size of a regular bin…they come around every week, and I can fill it once every three-four weeks. Recycling is the larger size, and it is picked up every other week…it’s rarely full either! xo FQ
That’s a lot of bins! Duke would be guarding the one with food waste too! Your little grow home is a wonderful idea! Happy Thursday, Susie!
