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

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

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!

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)

So it's a bit windy today...
Ended up just taking the cover off because it was damaging the frame, and it's far too windy to even attempt a fix

Would have just replacing the stickers on the post have been easier? Of course!
But not as fun
Fingers crossed that this holds up okay!
I expect to have to do touch-ups but I used outdoor acrylic and clear coated it

It is 7C here near Ottawa, but this storm is why I've had to delay breeding one of my girls 😢
I wasn't going to have the other owner or I risk driving through this
We'll try again in June!
(Note: I'm breeding purebred dogs & the pups already have homes)

Oops, I found more 😆
I've got to start stashing my random bits of garden stuff all in the same place!
These I'm less hopeful will come up as they look pretty rough, but maybe that one little bulb might
Also, if you've never seen it before, this is how tulips multiply!

Both were bought has potted bulbs in the spring, and I don't remember the colour, so it'll be a surprise if they come up!

The city's timeline to install the new school-zone signs is unclear, as Tim Tierney says they are too large to fit on the city's poles.
