It's HUMID

I'm not especially complaining about the humidity, as I would much rather it be warm and humid then cold and bitter outside. But when you take some moth infested bricks of hard dried out brown sugar that was from the back of the pantry to the compost and it INSTANTLY turns nice and fluffy when it hits the air, you KNOW it's humid. I know brown sugar really doesn't go bad....but there were bugs in it. Lots of them. Moths and thier worms. I may have had to just deal with skimming the squirmies out of food in the past, ugh, or go hungry, but I no longer have to do that and I hope to never ever have to do that again. So into the compost it went to feed the microbs. We had some rain yesterday, but not enough. I was hoping for more today but any storms passed us by. I'll have to hand water a few things tomorrow morning. I really do hope to get a weather station for the yard soon, maybe next month so I can start keeping records here. One of the little goldfish was belly up this morning :(. I have no idea why he died. He seemed healthy the day before, swimming around, looking as active as the other one. Although I can't recall seeing him eat. I know all the others I remember seeing eat the food. Well, he was fished out and buried in one of the houseplants, at least he will be fertilizer and the circle of life goes on, though I do feel bad about it dying in my care. I don't know what I could of done diffrently to prevent that and the other fish look fine. I picked up another magazine to read, Hobby Farms July/August issue. Its a very informative rag, though a lot of the articles don't really cover what I can do here in this yard, they are still very interesting and its neat to see diffrent methods of farming. There was an article on tomato grafting, interesting, but nothing I will ever do. I get enough tomatoes just off normal ones that I don't really need to worry about the hassle of going through all that even though I know its somewhat of a fad right now. I found the tree pastures article very interesting and someday if I should ever have pasture, I think I would do similar. The article on wild native bees was especially good, and I am a real fan of bees and can use some of the ideas for sure.
