Saturday Shivers.

Had to wear the down jacket for this mornings walk. Beautiful sky even if ye old thermometer reads nineteen degrees.

Baked Peasant Bread yesterday. Recipe was so easy I'll definitely make it again. Am munching a slice now to soak up some of this strong, black coffee. Bandit sat beside me whining for a taste, but I held firm and ate it all myself. He retreated to his safe haven under the kitchen table to mope. His begging has gotten all out of hand.

Reviewed last years garden notes and am in the process of planning the crops for this year. Adding bok choy to the rotation and removing winter squash; will still grow pumpkins. Spinach and Swiss chard are already growing under the plastic greenhouse. Have to learn more about greenhouse growing and schedule planting accordingly.

Pruned the plum trees; noticed they are budding out already. Too early. Last year they were beautiful, but a hard frost in late May killed the blossoms. No fruit at all last year. The robins are back so perhaps Spring will come early. We can dream, eh?

Lobbed some of the side branches off  the pruned apple tree limbs for use staking plants in the garden.

Gotta work on W's sign till it warms up outside.

I love and miss you, Mommy.
