Denine, great tips on composting. My father in law tried to explain the balancing but I find your list and references more helpful. If I ever get to putting in a garden, I want to compost.

Nice post. We have noticed that the heat seems to bother my daughters skin too...especially the back of her knees. Agree with running around without much on. A new product that I have tried and is working rapidly is Triple Cream http://www.triple-cream.com/ I have found that sunscreens are also a battle - I end up using Neutrogena on her legs where her flare ups are worst.
