    Composting!

    Good morning, Seattle! I can’t believe how great the weather is. I would say I brought it with me, but since I’m from Portland, that probably wouldn’t stick. I am here to talk to you about composting. I have been meaning to post about it, but it wasn’t until I got my boyfriend this adorable
