What did you do in the garden today?

I have a partial set of mini bread machine books. I do the dough by hand, but there's not one dud recipe in them. It's really nice as they recipes have 3 each, small-medium-and large loaf.

64 degrees today and windy. I spent the whole afternoon chainsawing down invasive cedar trees in the cattle pasture. I've managed about 6 or so acres so far. I haven't TOUCHED the 20 foot trees or the plum, ironwood, or olive trees. Those will be easier with the skid steer the other rancher will bring in. Me cutting the cedar trees down by hand means less time the skid steer guy has to be there, saving $$.

=========on the critter note
Now there are 3. Sigh.
I lost half my herd. HALF MY HERD. He was the baby (8), sweet, sassy, soft- and my supreme grand champion fleece alpaca.
I bought him 3 weeks more than the others, but he was just going downhill for the past week and all I was doing was drugging him to help keep him comfortable. Numb. I'm just numb.

Im so sorry . It is hard loss.

Been a minute since I checked in.
I do a lot of cat rescue and tnr here and I probably got distracted by work and cuteness.

My garden has been rockin' it and keeping me in greens for months. Leaks are leaking, tomatoes are starting their second season and tomatoing, and broccoli is FINALLY starting to flower. Soursop and starfruit has kept me in fruit too. I am happy to have cut my food bill. Enough to purchase another garden bed!! Got it build and filled with logs and plant debris. Need to fill with soil and compost, waiting for the rains to pass. Need to get my new tomato starts in the dirt before it starts warming.
A green fix for you all. Spring is around the corner. Hang in there!!!
