Compostable Matter

So, that laptop under the tree was for Dad. Not the computer, but what we'd loaded on the screen — we'd set up a blog for him.

He's been writing gardening-based personal essays for years, for the town garden club newsletter and for a few local newspapers, under the title Compostable Matter. We decided that his writing was ideal for a blog, and so now Compostable Matter is on the Web. Today's essay is about our Santa Fe Christmas.

And once the blogging madness started, there was no stopping. We've set one up for Mom to show her photos — the view from Mars — which also has some photos from their trip.
