To make things worse in terms of content this week, we were basically kept indoors because of the
Cooper: Cutest dog ever... |
So far no sprouts on the garlic patch yet, a minor disappointment. We have all the leaves piled up and ready to cover it after a couple good frosts. The next week is suppose to be decent weather so I'll keep an eye on it and hold off on the mulch cover as of yet. No progress on the Montego plot yet, the 5 days of rain have put everyone on hold. I'll be buggin' the neighbours for sure to get things moving before the winter sets in. The trampoline has been taken apart and moved to the shop for transformation, hopefully have that up for spring. And for whatever reason I ordered some seeds off Ebay as well. In the grand scheme of things not a lot, $40 worth of what would cost us $80 online at seed stores. Overall a good investment/source if they germinate, it's the tunnel vision thing at work again mostly...
All in all things are going well, we are still happy and progressing enough. We're leaving for our honeymoon next week and none of the locals have left a burning scarecrow on our lawn, so we are doing well so far. We've noticed a few things since living on the farm vs the city, some good some bad...
Wormzilla |
- Everyone seems to smile a little more. It sounds cliche but it's true.
- The stars at night are mesmerizing and because we live on a slight hill, the sun rises are very intence.
- Stringent deadlines seem like more of a suggestion to locals.
- A lot of things are closed on Sundays, a fact I don't mind really. I appreciate the old days of everything being shut on the holy day.
- Things which are gospel in the city, ie anti monsanto and non-GMO seem shrugged off to most here. One neighbour actually told me it was 'safe' to drink Monsanto's Roundup weed killer.
- Worms grow very large. I thought someone lost a finger while digging the garlic patch.
- Morning tea tastes better.
- Raking the yard is an all day ordeal. May be time to cut down some trees.
- It takes the same time to get to and from Tim Horton's here vs in the city.
- Mouse bait seems to be a staple in decorating.
