Been busy the past couple weeks -- still no snow here in the Sierra, although some has been promised for later this week. This morning's low was 25, so maybe winter is finally here. I spent all weekend terracing, building, and composting raised beds for a second garden on the hill behind the house. Also pruned fruit trees, planted some bare root grapes. Then lo and behold, I found two six-packs of broccoli and swiss chard seedlings under the patio table! Plunked them in the ground yesterday and hooped 6-mil plastic over them. That, for sure, will guarantee snow this week! Ha!
Our hens are still laying. Miss Flossie found her usual door closed yesterday, so she couldn't get into the utility room to lay her egg in the wreath. Sooo, so she hustled herself around to the back door and laid her daily egg offering on the foot mat. What a goof. Here are some of our multi-colored eggs:
