What did you do in the garden today?

Hi all. I watered this morning and then opened the duck eggs. Both were dead in the shell. I’m bummed. Have a good weekend.

Oh @igorsMistress, I'm sorry to hear that.

Glad everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving!

I put up the Christmas decorations today because the weather is nice, but I refuse to turn them on till it's actually December. Driving home last night I was amazed at how many people had their decorations up already, it was awesome!

5 weeks of quarantine & I finally let the big girls out again so they could see the littles, they were like 'WHAT ARE THOSE...THIIIINGSSS? GET RID OF THEM.' Chickens are so funny. & mean.

Chores are done, movie time! Have a great day all.

I'm so sorry the universe must have something else in mind for you. May want to stay clear of the HS for awhile lol.

Aloha all and happy belated TG!
Unlike @NewBoots I don't enjoy the TG journey anymore. Being in a small cottage has it's challenges and cooking can be one, plus I don't like making myself sweat on purpose unless it is exercise. Dinner was wonderful but DH got whole shrimp instead of the de-headed, deveined so I spent 1 hour bent over riping their little heads off, deshelling and deveining. Everyone loved their unusual but tasty early TG dinner and for that, I was grateful!!!

Yesterday, DH and my test came back negative late noon. Someone went to work so others could have a less worrisome holiday. I personally was not worried for us- But, I did notice the sacrifice of someone for all and am grateful for that person.
I was also grateful to be able to cook a nice meal, have everything we needed and be safe and well in this moment.
I did let the itty bitty's wander the big yard the last 2 days. Sooo cute. K. off to clean coops and waterers and whatever work they have created for me this last 24. After standing in the kitchen for 8 hours for a 20 minute meal i am behind on chicken duty, they miss me and I miss them even if it is scraping poop boards .

Was given strawberry plants by a neighbor. They’re an old heirloom of some type no idea what since he said they’re the offspring of plants his dad bought sometime around 1950!

Those are the best kind!

Was feeling homesick Monday and so I ordered some pecans from Florida. I got 2.5 pounds of Cherry Lee and 2.5 pounds of Desirables. The generic pack of Diamond Pecans from the grocery wasn't cutting it. I wanted 2.5 pounds of Stuarts, but they don't have any. UGH.

DH thinks it's funny that I can tell the difference between the varieties. I'll go up the road 15 miles tomorrow and buy a basket of local pecans too.

Found this in my run this morning. Must be from a wild one who did not get permission to use the nest boxes, poor thing. Looks like a first.

Mine now. This is what I get for all of the feed she helped herself to.
