Newly arrived at Aldi are the Winterliebe mulled bottled holiday wines. I prefer to make Glühwein if I have the time, but love being able to open a bottle, heat, and serve in less than 5 minutes. We hold some back for the coming year as well. Shown in the photos below are regular, cherry, & apple.

Newly arrived at my local Aldi are bottles of Petit Eggnog Wine Specialty and Petit Peppermint Bark. I haven't had the latter yet. The eggnog is made more boozy due to a bit of pure grain. 13.9% ABV. Aldi doesn't sell wine in all locations.

Guess what just hit Costco! Ahhh the Ber Months.

It's been a long while but I find myself missing the planning of a trip this time of year to Branson, Missouri to go to the Moon River Theatre to see the Andy Williams Christmas Show. We'd eat at his Moon River Grill right across the parking lot. Both were full of his art collection.

An Odocoileus virginianus (white-tailed deer) doe left her fawn hunkered down in the garden of a friend's relative today. She reunited a short while later to nurse the fawn.

A local family-run Italian restaurant closed down some time ago. Remnants remain like this vintage decorative masonry.

Opossum feet!!!

This is a foot of Snowflake, a Virginia opossum spending a day in a constructed den. His leg and tail were hanging out of the den opening but he was snoring away.

Another sunset from the front porch & garden. This one is from November 2023.

A couple of weeks ago after a long day of garden prepping, we stopped and sat on the front porch. For 10 minutes we were treated to the sky show in the pic. After that, it was gone.

My friends got Iris fulva (copper iris) to bloom at their place. This is the picture they sent with the ever watchful Berndine, a Bielefelder Kennhuhn chicken, photo bombing.

Lonicera sempervirens (coral honeysuckle) putting on quite the display during a dark, gloomy, & rainy week. They're hummingbird magnets.

Can't blame Throckmorton (male Eastern gray squirrel). I've been this hungry before as well! It took him a while but he got both treats!

This is Dasher (raccoon). After a late breakfast this morning she decided to lay on the fire escape & hang out for about 20 mins.

This is Throckmorton (eastern gray squirrel). Throckmorton is named after the old time radio character Throckmorton P. Gildersleeve.

More kombucha brewing waste inputs for my composting efforts include spent hibiscus and lavender blossoms. The dark red in the picture is hibiscus and the tan looking portion is lavender. It smells GREAT... At least for the time being. The fragrance wanes as the materials get reduced into compost.

Other great composting ingredients I get from my kombucha folks include spent tea leaves from the brewing process. Here they're shown in dark brown next to finely chopped oranges. I don't add much citrus to my piles but I do use the spent finely chopped citrus. More inputs include...

It's also commonly called SCOBY (Symbiotic Culture of Bacteria & Yeast). All pellicles are SCOBYs but now all SCOBYs are pellicles. It looks like hog fat and smells like a fruit mild vinegar due to the fermentation. Covered in compost bins, it is worm and soldierfly larvae crack. They LOVE it...

I made a regular pickup of kombucha waste for my compost / worms / soldierfly efforts. This is the pellicle...

Potatoes chitted all winter were planted a couple of weeks ago. They have now grown up through 2 feet of soil and are poking their heads into the air.

Pycnanthemum muticum (clustered mountain mint or short-toothed mountain mint) waking up. It's a native plant and a pollinator magnet.

Daffodil 'Tête-à-Tête' is a real doll of a flower. It performs well, doesn't flop and unlike many daffodil varieties, still offers resources to pollinators....
