Here we are, nearly into another year. The high temp forecast for today is 81F with possible rain. Can use the rain, not so much the high temps nor the sweat that goes with it.
The fall garden is growing like it is summer. Cauliflower, broccoli, and cabbages are growing fast so we will be picking, cleaning, pickling or freezing before long.
I still need to prune the fruit trees but they haven't gone dormant as yet. I reckon I will just wait until mid-January and prune anyway. Have done that before without ill results so will do it again.
We had a nice Christmas with most of our extended family and lots of good food. I had not noticed before that both the men and women of our family are good cooks. I knew wife and I were good cooks but not all the rest of our get have those skills too. Lots of young children and one lone crawling baby who won everyone's heart as she crawled over to get hugs and lots of love. The family is still growing.
We were married 56 years yesterday. I had not given a thought when we married that we would still be around to have four generations with us. Two children, five grandchildren plus a step grandchild, seven great grandchildren.
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year and may your crops be prolific and tasty.
George, Miz Anne, and Tilly Dawg
