Another conversation between Mike and I using our blackberry messenger.
Cathy: My dad got us a water barrel.
Cathy: I want to order a compost bin and maybe a clothes line today.
Cathy: Our neighbors are gonna think we're crazy green liberals.
Cathy: Cuz only liberals compost and save water.
Cathy: Not to mention your lawn mower.
Mike: You're funny. Do you think you could ask your dad if he could get another one?
Mike: I want to build solar panels too.

I understand. I think my neighbor thinks I'm a whack job because he caught me excitedly showing one of the kids that the compost pile was actually hot. (I don't take a lot of interest in it, so I was surprised.)
We've gone green at our house too. We got a rain barrel, we hang all out laundry (except underwear), we have an organic vegetable garden and we have a compost bin. I get way to excited when it comes to throwing stuff in the compost bin. I look at it like a pet that needs to be fed. I get a silly little thrill every time I throw a wilted lettuce leaf or a yam peeling into the compost bin. That's ..... kind of sad isn't it?
Sounds like someone needs to move to Oregon! It's more weird here if you don't do those things than if you do.
First of all, I love the lawn mower. What more do you need? Unless you are over 60 years of age, you can push that thing around.
Second, one of the things that we can't wait about having a house in Illinois is a yard for 1.) a garden and 2.) compost.
Third, did you ever hear about the neighborhood that was suing a couple for having a clothesline? They thought it made the look of the neighborhood as a whole "less desirable" and "worth less." Are you kidding me?
Kuddos to whatever you do to help sustain the very things your boys will enjoy when they are grown.
