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.

I spent most of the week cleaning and getting ready for Thanksgiving. Today I swept one of the patios. Tomorrow I’ll do another one. Also cleaned a couple Refrigerator shelves.

So at least I didn’t waste the whole day, but I usually don’t do much on Saturdays. Tomorrow I’ll also tackle sorting and cleaning out some kitchen drawers that need reorganizing.

Looking forward to seeing water in that pond.
