is upon us again ...
the wood pile dimenishes is restocked and dimenishes again
The big dogs love wooding - they explore the woods and race back whenever the saw stops.
Brody isn't as big a fan - he tends to sit in the vehicle while the saw buzzes. He enjoys the walking elements and riding on the atv though.
If it's below 5 degrees out Thea stays home to watch the fire!!
Unrelated note - the green onions continue to flourish in the garden despite snow and frost!!

sweet day ...
- gardened - veggie beds are in amazing shape
- all garlic is planted (93 cloves in total)
- fertilized the asparagus and mulched it
- played agility with the dogs
- went to town
- had a lovely fire
so far a perfect day! and a yummy dinner planned with my favourite radio show ahead so it isn't getting any worse
(if you don't count Brody waking up at 7 am like a little alarm clock)

85 cloves of garlic
85 cloves of garlic actually take way less time to plant in a nice friable fluffy bed then you'd think!
I picked only the biggest best large cloves this year so am excited to see next year's results all ready - this is garlic that has been grown here since before 2006. The first year it was tiny - each year the bulbs have gotten successively bigger and healthier with bigger cloves too. Next year I'm trying my first brought in garlic - I'm planting a head of Korean garlic from a local organic gardener.
The asparagus is looking pretty amazing ... I'll try to grab a picture tomorrow if the sun comes out.
Bunny hutches are tucked up for winter.
On a sad note little darling Daisy died last week. She was the oldest of the does and had a happy year with us so I can't be too sad but I will miss her bossy funny ways.
My home computer is blown up which is a drag except it might force me to get a new one sooner rather than later!
