We have absolutely no snow, the hill has a bare dusting of snow up on the top but that is it. There are days I really like living in a valley and then winter hits and it makes me really sad, because of the mill we don't get any real winter. It's just cold and freezes, with a little bit of snow, maybe a week worth spread out over the whole winter.
Woke up this morning to my big 15 pound cat sleeping on my butt/back, with his sister crying because she "killed" something in the house, probably my hair tie again, or the baby's pair of socks; she has found the sock nest in the boys' room.
Then hubby comes in, pushes him off of me which earned me clawed smack!! How is it that when my husband moves him, and I get whacked?
Made up my next year planting/canning list last night. Looks like I am going to not be doing cucumbers or cherry tomatoes. My focus is going to be on large tomatoes, about 30 plants, 10 bell peppers maybe some jalapenos too, onions and garlic, which is already going. Along with buying a pear tree and a dwarf cherry tree for Grandpa's house, since he is going to be chopping down the ones we already have. Oh and pumpkins, my oldest really liked watching them grow, with his sunflowers that we are doing again, Mammoth ones this time I guess. I compared my garden to my Grandpa's garden, and I can plant the same pepper plants at both places and his are 3 feet long, and mine are lucky to get past the 6" mark, talk about cruddy soil. His garden has been in the same place, growing the same thing, in the same places for 60 years, and it's still going like crazy!!
We had a weezle get our outside chickens couple of months ago, so now I' m buying a lot of store bought eggs. We plan on getting more outside chickens in the spring, after my hubby has time to re enforce our coup. I miss my fresh eggs , but Mrs. Chick trys her best to help. She is my special spoiled rotten thinks she is a dog,baby. LOL
