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

Is the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train just a Canadian thing?

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

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

I have a personal rule about not fighting with people on the internet, especially those who are clearly rage baiting, but that is tempting
I just picked up a homemade Tourtière for a fundraiser last weekend
Canadian food is some of the best in the world if you know where to find it

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

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!

Popping in a few more tulips, and I planted some daffodils as well
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!

I have the best neighbours
I went to go into town today and very angry lights came on my dashboard
The daughter came over with her code reader and looks like it's just a loose sensor 🤞

Should I do 2 or 3 more trees??
I'm just really excited.
Since I moved into my home 16 years ago, I had nothing more than a couple crappy stairs out the front door, and a falling down porch.
It's all fixed & I'm getting to decorate my way
FaLaLaLaLa Thanksgiving was a month ago

I had to exchange a heater & they just jumped into my cart 🤷♀️
More truthfully, I'd been looking at buying some last night, & these were a great price!
These dwarf white spruce will be going in the garden once they're done as decorations as I have a spot I want them for winter interest

Down another vole!
It's been a boom year for them, and Ruby has gotten quite good at hunting
It's funny to watch her bring them in from the field in her mouth, then let them go in the yard where the grass is shorter so she can dispatch them

I did a very silly thing and brought a citronella plant in for the winter because this one in particular has gorgeous blooms
And I'm SO glad I did!
My office (where my grow lights are) smells beautifully of citrus now
I'm going to need to choose a name...

This is a mystery mix since they don't tell you and the label cuts off the full list of varieties 😆

The damage the voles do to my garden is not caused by the voles, but by my dogs hunting the voles 😆
It's actually the collies who get most of then since they spend their day outside
I gave in and moved the board over so they'd stop knocking my winter sowing over!

Homemade Tourtière 😋
For the uninitiated, this is a traditional French-Canadian meat pie typically served Christmas eve
I make pies from scratch myself, but this was sold in support of the local firehall that cut me out of my Jeep after my accident
It smells SO good, I should have gotten 2!
