This weekend in Lyons

My business continues to grow slowly. The mayor of Lyons wants to do compost with me. Cool! I am increasingly more excited about doing the compost because I can keep it almost totally local, with a few exceptions when I have to bring meat/bones/dairy compost into Boulder. For the most part, however, I'll be able to turn my customers' compost directly into soil that will enrich the gardens of other residents. I think that's neat.

Yesterday's Tour de Coup, organized by Betsy Burton of the Lyons Farmette, seemed to be quite successful. Lots of people showed up from all over the Front Range. I met people (and lots of kids) from as far away as Denver and Fort Collins. The weather held, though it threatened a bit.

The Duck Race was also fun on Saturday, and we hit the farmer's market downtown for a bit, tried out the delicious crepes and looked at a bit of fun jewelry. We also saw some friends. There are all kinds of interesting things to do in Lyons when I stick around for the weekend. I don't know if I won anything, but I'll check in a few minutes. Happy week!
