Thanks for the new page, Kathleen. Beautiful picture of the fall leaves. Ours just turn yellow or brown. Most are on the ground now.
We have a storm blowing in from the Pacific, so will get some rain today. I still have yard work to do but am making some progress. The garlic, both mine and my neighbor's, is all planted, so now needs moisture and time. We won't see anything above ground until about mid March, unless my Chinese Pink sends up tops like it did last year. I attributed that to having just come from a warmer place. Now that I have grown that variety for a year, I think they might not do that again. Maybe.
My neighbors are away for a few days so I am doing dog, cat, goat and chicken chores. I keep the milk to use for bread making, measured and frozen in the proper amount. Chickens have been doing free range, so are not producing eggs. They also need a light in the chicken house to make them think it is spring.
