Recycling, transfer station, and squash

The boy and I took a load of metal, chemicals, and batteries to a local, free recycling event this afternoon. Goodbye used batteries! Yay! And goodbye goddamned wheel barrow and crushed step ladder that have been haunting me for years! Woohoo!!!

Then we kept going to the local transfer station in Bellevue/Factoria, where - also for free - we got rid of some used flourescent lightbulbs and some Draino and other nasty household chemicals we inheritted from the previous owners.

Then we came home and did various worthless stuff. In particular though, I drug the boy into the yard and made him help me with the last of the squash in the garden. There were two spaghetti squash, some yellow squash which had gone to seed (aka turned all big and hard and warty) which I will use for Halloween decorations, and a crapload of zucchini. I cannot believe the plants. They are still producing!! Zucchini are scary.
