Given America's current state of affairs, I think it's time we all plant a victory garden.

If you're new to vegetable gardening, start small. An oak barrel with lettuce and radishes or tomatoes and herbs.

If you have questions, let me help.

All the gravel is finally moved now I can start clearing out the vegetable garden for spring planting

Wishing everyone a productive and healthy New Year.

I took another day off I'll start moving gravel again tomorrow

I'm still moving the three and a half tons of gravel

Started sorting the auxiliary pantry, those cans of 'extras' that tend to be forgotten. Two boxes of food going to the local food bank. Remind me NOT to buy cases of canned food at Costco!

I have been cleaning out the kitchen cupboards. Organizing and making access more convenient. Three more to finish, then I'll work on the pantry.

Each sari gets a warm bath with mild shampoo. Most have dyes that are not set so they bleed quite a bit. Plus they arrive crammed on a box so the bath straightens them out.

This is the latest sari acquisition. Each one is about 7 yds long and made of silk. At $35 apiece, it's a heck of a bargain!

I just downloaded the BS app to my phone. Was that a bad idea?

well, let's see how this goes
