Pets

I’ve gathered up my garden containers and tucked them in beside the deck with a generous mulch of fallen leaves. Thank you, trees! Moving anything that’s not a plant off the trunk under the sunny afternoon window to make room for a couple of pots of aloes in my library/study/sewing room.

Last hummingbird sighting was in the 17th, taken down all but one feeder. They’ve all been scrubbed and stashed in a box for next year. This has been a glorious year for birds on the mountain!

Going to the market today for 12 pounds of apples so I can make apple butter and applesauce during the freezing mornings. 98 cents a pound for organic honey crisp apples this week. If I can find some crisp red-skinned apples, I’ll make some spiced apple rings, too.

DH made a lovely beef stew last night, and I’m pretty sure there’s a big pot of chili in the near future near me.
Hope we all stay warm.
