When in Dundas we stopped in at Richard Fisher's pottery studio. The goal was to get Rich some new beer steins for his upcoming birthday. We stepped in the door to his studio to find Richard and his assistant busy at work. Richard was finishing handles on mugs, while his assistant was dipping various pieces into a garbage container full of glaze. Being in his studio was a great exposure for wide-eyed Mina into the world of ceramics. You could see it all, from the unused 25lbs bags of clay to his finished work in the upstairs display area. The whole experience made me want to get back into working with clay. One day...
But my greatest delight that day was noticing Richard Fisher's awesome compost pots! Immediately i knew that this would look better on my counter than the plastic city-provided "green" bin! In this pot, we collect our worm food - raw vege and fruit scraps, coffee grounds and tea leaves. The compost pot is there and handy when i'm cooking. I absolutely LOVE IT! Under the sink is the plastic bin for city collection of post-dinner food scraps and anything not for our at-home compost system.
On that note, the worms are doing fine and made it through the cold spell that we had in January. We brought them into the garage to keep them extra happy. As far as pets go, these things are the best thing ever!
