Good morning,, a cold 22 out,
I am making a to-do list,
other than normal housework and coop chores,
I want to fill the wood rack on the front porch. If it does end up snowing its easier to pull from it rather than wheelbarrow it in possible snow.
We have been looking a ATV's that we can hook a trailer to and haul wood with. I would like a rechargeable one but holy cow they are expensive.
We are / Iam just not wanting to push one contractor wheelbarrows at a time for 4 to 5 cords of wood.

Wonderful warm today. So appreciate kids bottle feeding with just a light jacket needed. Couple stalls to clean out. Should have done last week but never above freeze temps nixed that! I'll get them this week, dump into garden, till in another time.

Back to work a couple days this week. I'll work the jobs in around bottle schedules

I volunteered yesterday at an annual seed swap. I actually sat at the Food Bank table, but was able to browse the tables and tables of seeds.

Two companies mail their out of date seeds (packed for '24) to the group that organizes this. A larger company declined this year, for the first time in 6 years since they have been contributing. Others, like me, bring in seeds that we've saved from our own gardens.

I picked up five packets of seeds, and then talked for a bit to a volunteer from the local Arboretum. I gathered a few native perennial seeds from him for the wild areas of my property.

Some folks, again like me, bring their trimmings to the event. I had rooted about 12 pothos, four variegated spider plants, some other plants from a floral arrangement, three Sword ferns, three stalks of a snake plant and four sprouts from aloe. We toss them outside on a tarp. They all get snapped up quickly in the first two hours.

I was able to acquire a stem of red bark dogwood, several stems of ninebark, two bearded iris, a tiger lily tuber and several tubers of red canna.

On Wednesday when I don't work at the food bank, I'll trim and then pot up them for rooting.
