Why they want to sit up there I'll never understand but they do.

At least they get a long.

In other news , we are busy pouring over seed catalogs , dreaming of spring and summer gardens, hoping against hope that it is a better year than last year... especially for tomatoes (and our energy levels and overall health) , trying to decide on varieties , trying to stay within our limited space . All that jazz. We planted onion sets in barrels. Punker Man insists on unplanting onion sets . We poked peas into the ground and scattered arugula seed. That is coming up. Still waiting on those peas. Cover crop is covering most of the growing area. It was planted fairly recently so it is still rather small. We still need a ton more soil up top in those new beds. Maybe a miracle will happen, who knows. But come April there better be a lot more soil up there or we are going to have some serious difficulties. There is a lot of serious composting being done but I'm unsure of whether that will be adequate. I'm going to grow strawberry spinach this year. I've wanted to for years and years because it just looked so weird and cool (berries come off the plant.. of all things!) but I never got to it. But THIS year. ... Yes indeed, I have great plans. If only half of them come to pass I'll be satisfied . I think. Maybe . I hope. We shall see.

On the food front, last night we made the best spaghetti sauce ever. Well, for here anyway. And over home grown spaghetti squash it is oooooh so good.

We have lots on the agenda , not sure if any of it will get accomplished or not, Elly May can only do so much and as long as my health is being so uncooperative , we have to let some things go. But that is okay. It is a season in life. God gives the strength to accomplish what he wants you too. If he doesn't give it, obviously you weren't meant to do it to begin with. Or something like that. Happy New Year.
