Photo Friday: License

Because Amber gave us the license to present whatever pictures we chose and because she wrote of her memories of growing up around the process of making dirt from compost, I began searching through old pictures of just that. 

But alas, sadly, last month my external hard drive crashed and I lost thousands yes thousands of pictures.  I have hardly been able to think about it, much less mention it to many.  Hundreds of hours spent fixing cracked faded BnW family pictures from the 40s and 50s.  Those I can redo eventually.  The ones from the last 20 plus years, many are gone for good. ( I think of Ike and his 'Sad Place' topic..not really comparable - but to this lady getting on in age, those pictures help me remember things I would otherwise forget.   Okay, getting on.  

Compost. And Amber's post.  There may not be an old picture of that same steamy pile but I did run into a few others. 

 I risk not much here as my dau must approve these before the Publish button is selected!
