We finally got out our Xmas decorations. Hubs didn't want to at all, but son helped so it went better. I gave alot of items away on the local FB Battle Ground Give and Receive page. I have more stuff so I'll take it to a thrift store. Kinda late for them tho, so I feel bad.

Tuna the kitty immediately climbed up the artificial xmas tree yesterday. Hubs was upset, but son and I were laughing. I got hubs calmed down, showed him some of the funny pictures we had taken, and now he's good with it. He did put a kettle bell on the base, so that it doesn't topple over.

Feed chores done earlier. I had coffee and began whipping up pie filling from the sweet potatoes I cooked yesterday for these pies :drool Smells so good in here. I can hardly wait. Once baked, I'll head to town to pick up feed. They'll be cooled by time I return 😁 lunch time !!

Then outside for whatever I can accomplish.

That's a beautiful garden! I'd love mine to look that good 😁 I always seem to lose the neatness. Partly because of "time" and size. Hoping to do better.

I still have a job and the seasonal work comes at the same time as the seasonal garden planting & establishing. 🫤 Looking at ways to improve that and that I can tolerate here. One day, someday 🤣

Strange how the cold weather just ramps up our garden thoughts and plans. I have boxes of seed at my feet right now. Plus catalogues that show I have all I need! Willpower.

How do you use your wormwood? I'm using as a combo with other things for organic parasite help
for my goats. Comfrey here, too -- expanding that patch. I plant things for the chickens. Herbs & seed bearing plants.

I dry the wormwood and give it fresh to the chickens. Its not their favorite but they do end up eating it. I only toss out enough for all of them not a lot but just enough.
I need to find more wood chips for my pathways. the man down the road didnt use his sawmill this year.
I do give the flock comfrey and other herbs.
well, veg in the story is so expansive, I'll do what I can next spring. I need a new watering system. my soaker hoses are 4yr old and are toast.
