Wow, what a hectic month. Thanksgiving is behind us now and Christmas is right around the corner. And then New Year’s Eve. I hope everyone had a great Turkey Day.

We went to Tennessee this year for Thanksgiving. My Dad passed away in October and I knew it would a difficult time for my Mom. Mom and my sister, Jeannie met us at my brother Jerry’s home in Tennessee. The food was great and the company was even better.

My yard sale turned out pretty good last week. I think I will actually have a yard sale myself this Spring. Lord only knows I have enough stuff to sale. It is amazing how much “stuff” we collect over the years.

I have been working in my future garden spot. I have been spreading the manure and hay. Starbucks has bags of coffee grounds that you get free and you can add to your compost or garden area. I picked up a bag the last time I went there with my daughter. Looking forward to picking up a couple more of them since my garden area is large.

I think I may have missed the appropriate time to plant bulbs for my flower bed. I will have to look that up since it is still Fall and the temperature here was 64 degrees at 9pm last night. Isn’t the internet great? I love having so much knowledge at my fingertips.

I have a subscription to Mother Earth News and I am thoroughly enjoying the articles. Even my daughter is interested in it. She is really interested in taking care of our environment. The solar homes information and building your own home stuff is really stimulating information. Makes me want to get to work and make my home and life more self-sufficient.
