On March 16th I checked the compost bin to see if I could scoop up some finished compost to prepare my own starter mix. Here in Zone 2, nothing has thawed by March 16th and the compost was frozen solid. I considered hauling the whole bin into the house. Upon closer inspection I noticed something strange, black, and shiny at the bottom of the bin. At first I couldn't make out what it was, but after a bit of poking and peering, it dawned on me. Those are my missing sunglasses from last year! I had looked everywhere last fall and couldn't find them; I must have placed them on the lid of the bin and they fell in.
