Wow Mary, that's pretty cool about the deer bedded down. As long as they aren't also into nibbling things they shouldn't.
We woke up to a balmy 64 today. After having lows of 20's a week ago. It's very weird for me, coming from Mi. but then I think the weather is screwy everywhere any more. I certainly want freezing temps down here, just not this early in the season. I didn't quite have all my outside chores finished and I've become quite the pansy when it comes to the cold.
Do you have snow with that cold?
I spread straw over the three rows of garlic and the stupid guineas had a field day. Straw everywhere. And I'm not redoing it because they'll just get in there and throw it all around again. I so want to get rid of those guineas! I didn't think they were supposed to eat my produce, just the bugs, but I caught them this year eating tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce! GRRRR!
Homemade noodles sound great. Now if we could get Anna to bake a pie to go with that?
