Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

Will finish up making the hay today. We have plenty now. Only feeding 4 old goats and a couple of ancient donkeys.

Well, Lisa is probably sleeping well tonight after making hay.
I did not do any exercise so I am not sleepy. Went to bed at
midnight and got up at two AM. can't get to sleep. Probably
because I napped during the day. Can't help it. All of a sudden
I find myself waking up..
I suppose I get eight hours of sleep each day, but not all in
one lump.
Our deer family is back. they are not spooky. One walked
into the yard to see what I was doing when I was working on
the lawn mower. Yesterday we saw a doe and two very tiny
babies..
Annie bought some black kernel popcorn. If you see it
in the store,,,pass it up. I am going to feed the rest to the
bluejays. tiny kernels when they pop and tough chewing..
even butter doesn't make them any better.

I know exactly what you're talking about, Jim. I rarely sleep through the night, and I rarely stay awake while trying to watch TV before I go to bed. Even if I'm watching a game show in the afternoon, I tend to nod off for maybe 10 or 15 minutes -- long enough that I often don't know who won the game.

When I lived in town, my backyard dropped off into a ravine above a creek and was a haven for whitetails. The deer eventually got used to me, and as long as I slightly turned my head and averted my eyes, I could get within just three or four feet of them. That only happened, however, when I was filling my bird feeders with what they clearly believed were deer treats.

That sleep thing…If I have ANY reason/appointment/plans the next morning I won’t sleep the night before. It just drives me nuts!

Especially doctor appointments.

Especially doctor appointments.

Yes especially those!

My dwarf sour cherry tree, which had ONE cherry in 2022, has produced a full quart this year! The weather is supposed to be much cooler this week, and there's even a good chance of some rain to nibble away at the drought. I may bake a (small) pie!!

What's all this talk about being able to get a good night's sleep? You mean, there are people who actually DO that?

Yesterday DH and I went into town and there was a car in front of us with a bumper sticker that said “only in Wisconsin”

Wonder what that means. I can think of lots of stuff I could label that way.

I just thought it was funny on a car in Washington state!
