Greetings from Mo. We have sunshine!! Pretty mild day today following yesterdays deluge. Trying out my solar charger to see if it can recharge 4 D size batteries.

Got some leaves swept off the patio this AM. Wheat is about 2 inches tall, as is the garlic. Rye is about one inch tall- was beginning to wonder if it would ever sprout.

Lemon tree is looking better and starting to form buds for blooms. Tumeric is not looking good-maybe too cool in greenhouse, so I'm going to reorganize this week end so that I can bring those pots indoors.

Hope all is well with you and yours, and you are enjoying the holiday. Prayers up for all. Happy Turkey leftovers day. God Bless.

Pinging the list.

Would like just a wee bit of “Globull Warming” here in Arctic Temp New England!

((((HUGS))))

Several days ago, I forgot to keep the water in the heated hose trinkling during the night. It finally thawed, today! Carrying a bucket of water out every evening isn’t my idea of fun.

Still haven’t wrapped the bee hive. Need to fill the feeder and maybe add another pollen patty and wrapt, tomorrow, while we are having a heat wave (Low 40s)!

We’re looking at some snow later this evening into tomorrow. If it goes SOUTH, no problem - if it hits us - it could get ugly, quick!

I had a FABULOUS crop of ‘Puffy Pop’ popcorn this season and I just started shelling it. 1 cob down, 67 to go, LOL!

I’m going to wrap three ears together in a nice cello bag and tie with raffia and give some as Christmas Gifts this season. They can shell their own d@mn popcorn! :)

(Just start a row with a spoon - easy-peasy, just TIME consuming. Good evening project while watching a movie...)

I have salad greens growing under lights in the house; kind of a treat, actually.

My ‘Thanksgiving’ Cactus is in full bloom - Peach, really pretty right now.

Still can’t figure out how to post pictures, which annoys me to no end!

Had a traditional Thanksgiving Meal with family & friends on Thursday; still in a Food Coma from that, though I have Elk steaks marinating and will grill and serve them with potatoes from our garden and some corn from the store and a salad made from the greens mentioned above. ;)

Not QUITE in the mood to decorate for Christmas, yet, but I am listening to Christmas Music! :)

We got a nice rain yesterday here in Central Missouri. Sunny and warm today. Rain and maybe snow on the way for tomorrow.

Not much of anything going on in the garden at the moment. I should finish cleaning up the mess from last season, but after foundering myself on Thanksgiving dinner yesterday I'm not feeling too motivated for much of anything today.

Mrs. Augie and I did do some cleanup in the yard on Thanksgiving day, and we transplanted the burr oak seedling that grew from an acorn I carried home last fall. I've been packing them home for years trying to get one to grow and finally one sprouted. I let it grow all summer in the kitchen garden so it would get a good start, and I'm hopeful that it will thrive going forward.

I had the day off Wednesday, and finished up putting cedars in the pond. I now have a nice line of brush on the dropoff from shallow to deep that runs through the north half of the basin. Still need to add more crushed limestone to the shallow water part of the basin, but mostly now it just needs water.

We had 3 days of rain for a total of 3 1/2 inches after 45 day of nada and now I hope my vetch comes up before the weeds do. The Chinese garlic is all up about 2 to 3 inches but no German Red yet. I wish I could post photos but I haven’t figured out the glitch in my new Fotki account (@$%^&*(&^$%#@!)! Lady Bender prepared a perfect Thanksgiving dinner for 15 people and I had my fourth meal tonight...

Spent a week in Seattle enjoying all the red and orange leaves, the cold mist, and the sound of seagulls. Delightful!
