That has to be tough. How is she with herbivores? I grew up with a dog — older than I was. Earliest memories. She was like a neighbor living in the backyard with frequent visits, indoors. GS Pointer, so a bigger dog –– she probably thought of me as something of a pest. Your mother could have...

We had overwintered kale overtheweekend and can expect more overtheweeks. An even dozen 2024 kale plants stayed thru the Winter. They weren't hugging like @Branching Out 's carrots but scattered everywhere from the front yard to the back fence. Working around them for preparing for the 2025...

No way close to freezing overnight with the rain commencing. Finished removing grass sod from two areas at the ends of growing beds — too much shade, too much traffic, too difficult to access with mower. Half is in for composting, half completed soil prep for the end of one bed, buried at a...

Finished the garden expansion for 2025 ... unless, there are too many marigolds & dahlias and I need to enlarge some flower beds in the front yard :D. The large 5' bed in the backyard veggie garden is now in an "L" shape. I realize that there may be a temptation to step into it where the 2...

Too much heavy lifting here ... I have 5, 5-gallon buckets and the wheelbarrow to use for compost and grass sod transport to other garden beds or to the compost "bins." The large pots are full of yard clean-up stuff to go in the trash. So, I'm limited for "material handling equipment." I have...

Thinking about the business of language this AM and ...

Toad in the Hole/Chicken in a Basket for a 2nd breakfast. I will procrastinate a little longer before going out to tear up more lawngrass. It is covered with frost — a low of 28⁰ (-2C) earlier, although the sun is shining. 8AM Time for coffee!

The utilization of former lawn as new garden space is continuing. First, lawngrass has to be removed. This should be a very suitable bed for sunlovers. The Kentucky Bluegrass has enjoyed it also and the sod is thick. It isn't very difficult to remove after the spading fork has loosened the top...

DW bought several Honeycrisp apples – couldn't resist, apparently ;). Waxed 2024 ... still tasty ... Microwaved, still good. Banana on Corn Flakes. Oolong. Reading about language. Vocalizations by Bonobos are called "calls." Maybe we are coming closer to considering them as language ;)...

Thought of @flowerbug recent "stubbed toes and mud pies" and my Home Depot visit yesterday :D.
