    One thing left to do, make my compost bin. Seems to be harder to get myself to make it that I thought. Tonight is the night!!

    Also, I know I already checked out a new path near where I live but I do recommend the Fanno Creek trail. Did part of it yesterday and it's pretty nice (where it's not flooded, maybe be prepared for that)

    Does anyone have any composting tips? I am new to it. Seems easy enough from the tutorials I have looked at though.

    Purposely did not eat seafood today! I don't eat much in general so when I get the chance, it's hard not too!!

    I think I have the perfect bin at home to drill a bunch of holes in to make a compost bin. There's definitely plenty of leaves to start with!

    Found a new park near by when exploring my area, pretty cute right on Fanno Creek, Bonita Park.

      If you go up Hall Blvd. you can catch the Fanno Creek Bicycle Trail at Fanno Creek Park.  That gives you essentially off-road trails all the way up into Beaverton.  Too bad there is not trail connection to Bonita Park.

    Has anyone asked their grocer or seafood restaurant "Do you sell sustainable seafood?" I am curious of responses to that question.
