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!
