Thanksgiving was quiet,  I went out and sat in the blind in  the morning, and took photos of the farm and all.   Then I came back and fixed a pork roast with potatoes for dinner.  we had a very pleasant afternoon, with just sitting around reading and doing other things.

I added some broccoli and cabbage to the garden, and got some more seeds for the spring.  I am really looking forward to getting out and getting my hands dirty working in the garden this year.  I love growing vegetables, as well as flowers, and love eating very fresh food almost as soon as  it is picked for the garden.  I have often said that the sooner you eat the vegetable, the sweeter it tastes.  My dad was a firm believer in that as he was a farmers son, and worked in Agriculture his whole life.  Think that is where I got my love for the farm. I also added some more hot peppers to the already growing  mix of peppers.  I can not wait to use them this year in some of my dishes.

I am slowly getting my desk in order, and throwing stuff away, so that it is easier to manage.  I actually got it dusted for the first time in months.  I know that sounds bad,  but when you are working in and around  the desk,  sometimes you only see the clutter and not the actual desk.  When I finally got the clutter off the desk, I could see the dust.  I resolve to clean up more often, including the keyboard.  Sometimes I wonder how it still works.  It has had beads spilled in it,  material dust and other stuff in it  and it still keeps on chirping.   Probably a good thing for me. I hate it when the computer does not work like I want it to.

Well,   that’s all the news from the south,
Happy” farming” to all the farm girl sisters out there.
See you next time down on the farm.
