If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. Anne Bradstreet
And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them. Ether 12:27
Yea, all things which come of the earth, in the season therof, are made for the benefit and the use of man, both to please the eye and to gladden the heart; Yea, for food and for raiment, for taste and for smell, to strengthen the body and to enliven the soul. And it pleaseth God that he hath given all these things unto man; for unto this end were they made to be used, with judgment, not to excess, neither by extortion. D&C 59:18-20

Composting leaves
I watched this YouTube video last night and decided to try it out, instead of saving all my leaves to feed my worms and for mulching next spring.
I did exactly as he suggested, except I used 8-gallon white kitchen trash bags. I took leaves out of the grey bag pictured above, took about 1/2 the leaves out of it. I crushed them up more as I transferred between the bags and then wet them down, to the consistency of a wet-sponge. I didn't punch pin holes in the bottom to let the water drain because at this time it's not necessary -- as I go along it may be.
I took pictures of the crushed up leaves in the new bag after I wet them down, and then after I set the bag on top of the strawberry patch tote.
