    I have scheduled my CS Day for next Tue 10 24 which will make my Community challenge DONE!   My mom and I are starting the first part of our day volunteering at stewpot.org in downtown Jackson and the latter half with MS Animal Rescue League.

    My dog Annie and I took a break from the workday and took a solid 30 minute walk around the neighborhood and we both loved it!

    Buy Food and Water Only - Not as hard as I thought....so far I am on track and can consider this challenge a success.  
    Compost Food Waste - Seeing as how I do not compost today, I had some learning to do but I have read up on Composting using an indoor container for the kitchen and have decided on the container I want.  Exaco's Kitchen Compost Container is on order from Amazon and will be put to use just as soon as it arrives.

    The biggest challenge for me will be the purchasing of only food and water during the challenge.  But I am up for it and my wallet is going to be so excited!  I have always wanted to do composting so this is a great opportunity to get started.  And I love working outdoors in my yard and it's time for fresh mulch anyway before the winterarrives so this will be an easy and fun challenge for me!
