Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

[The Porch]

yes! everything i can get done in the fall makes spring much easier. i'm doing ok. i will be staining again today and doing any other stuff i can get done on the house tomorrow so no more gardening until next week if we get breaks in the weather. Friday i may have a chance for a few hours if the rains hold off.

so glad you are on a great roll, its hard work but feels great to get it accomplished.

I got 13 big cattle syrup lick tubs from a rancher a couple days ago. My 2023 garden will be in them. Have no idea where I even want a garden, no tiller to break soil, no time to put in a first year garden. My priority will be to clean fence row, take down old wire and put up new wire so I can utilize the front pasture. I’m excited about those tubs, I’ll be able to at least grow something.

Yes! how deep and wide are they?

Was 21° here. Cats went outside. Puppy was startled by the frost but followed the old dog for potties. He's back snuggled against me.

Got up to rinse the brine off the salmon so it can dry for a few hours before smoking.

Hermes first kill. He found, pounced, and chewed it to death all on his own. It was still squeeking when I noticed.
