    Ducks ALIVE in 2025!

    wow, so sorry to hear, but being at peace with life and what happens next is to me wisdom even if it is a tough road. wailing at the fates doesn't seem to change them much and i can't stand the noise. *hugs to you, DH, and family*

    stubbed toes and mud pies

    working on another garden to get it put up for winter, dug a double wide (two shovel widths) trench for garden debris and then decided to double dig one more trench down because the ground is so compact under all of these gardens (once you hit the subsoil it's really hard to get a shovel through...

    every day here on planet erf. :) i love it. the dreaded four letter word SN*W has started showing up in the forecast. it means that despite chances of rain for today i probably should get out there and get some gardening done while i can, even an hour or two a day will help.
