How do I pin a post on this thing?
We're calling it sloppy Joe's with Asian inspired flavouring

Topped with red cabbage shreds & extra pickled Thai chillies

Yummy 😋

3rd night in a row just after it's actually dark that my collie is losing her crap at something from the yard

There are lots of reasons I will always keep both big and small dogs

Whatever she's barking at and keeping away is one of them

Feeling like I should have kept with the blue and white theme for the ribbon but at least they're better than the bare pots

Took me about an hour because I took the time to make them velcro & re-useable

Doesn't look impressive amongst all the other tall untended grass, but this stand is over 5' tall

Going to mark it to move it in the spring into the garden beds 😊

Threw together a bits & pieces dinner from my OddBunch box plus couscous & feta

I made a stupid amount so I'll be eating this all week,
Good thing it's delicious 😋

It's SO cool wandering around the property with the dogs and finding it can still surprise me after 15 years here

Now the sheep are gone, shrubs like this native red dog wood are multiplying all over, but of course it was because of the sheep this is even possible

The certified hole inspector has approved of my kiddos work 😆

That rock that is bigger than her!

These are for the white spruce to live in once they're done their job as holiday decor

Signed the forms, it's up to him to finish the last couple steps.

Big emotions over here.
My eldest son is going to graduate with my last name.
I don't think there is a better question you can get as a single mom than "how do I change my last name"

10 pm on a *Friday and I desperately want to talk to someone about Chinese Asters and their bloom habit so I can plan a mid summer container

I wish when the internet worked.

I refuse to shop anywhere in this country while they’re having “Black Friday” deals because absolutely the fuck not; we do not HAVE Thanksgiving, black friday is therefore unnatural and an abomination before the Lord and I will shop on Boxing Day like our ancestors intended

Is the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train just a Canadian thing?

I tried to look it up but didn't get anywhere

Not my photo

Bit of an experiment,

I'm going to move a couple of the different containers into the greenhouse once I get the cover back onto it

Stuck 2 in the ground as well to try that

Greenhouse plants about to be snowed in 😅

All these plants will be fine, I'm not pushing hardiness

Winter sowing Eastern Red Oak from acorns from my tree

I want to start a few for myself but will give most away

Growing them in container reduces transplant shock on seedlings rather than digging them up in spring

Woohoo! One of the few reasons I'm still on FB has moved over to the good place 😊

You know what's more fun than a colonoscopy?

Doing all the prep for a colonoscopy and the last step making you sick (in the wrong way)

So you get to do all the prep & don't even get the good drugs 😮‍💨

Time for break fast!

This is such recent history that there is a sign on the side of a rural building local to me about a turkey conservation area

5 years ago the town adopted "Van Turken" a female that took to sticking around on one road & chasing cars, people still talk about it

A conservation success story!

I'm just going to stop saying I'm done buying seeds this year because MIGardener.com is having a sale

It's hard to beat seeds of their quality for $1.60 a packet

Found the tomatoes I wanted to buy anyway (the Manitobas did really well for me)
