Happy Thanksgiving to you all

It just came out of the oven, I'm running late this year! Pumpkin with pecan crust!

 

The older I get the slower....is this happening to you? Sorry about that.  But, adapt and carry on.

I hope that everyone is adjusting to the election and will not be fighting with anyone ever again.
To the victor go the spoils or something like that, so we can just curl up for the winter and laugh.
That is my plan, that and doing everything I can to help those not as fortunate as some.
Instead of shopping for gifts I'm donating those amounts to my favorite charity,
The Salvation Army, in the recipients honor and asking everyone to do the same.

Happy Holiday!

Winter is coming.......

I know, I know, I couldn't have trained that bird to fly into my photo at the exact spot. How lucky was I?

We are now in the run up to winter, supposed to get a killing frost this week and we finally have some snow on the mountains.  We have had a huge bird migration in the last week and a few Eagles have arrived to keep us company. They certainly stir up a racket with the smaller birds.

I've been drying herbs for winter although the biome of my herb garden does allow for picking them fresh all winter. Sometimes one just wants a slight sprinkle of the dried one.

The miniature Kale that I planted is indeed that, I think the largest size plant is 4 inches tall. We'll use it like an old timey plate decoration instead of a sprig of parsley!

They say being a gardener allows one to live a longer, healthier life.  It certainly is a pleasure for me and helps to keep me saner. Particularly with today's political fiascos. Around here we call it "hacks incorporated reborn with new faces."

Keep gardening!
