   songbird to All   
   a few more nice days :)

   From: songbird@anthive.com   
      
     felt good to be outside with some sunshine and it   
   warm enough to raise a sweat when digging and mixing   
   some wood ashes in a garden so i can get some garlic   
   planted in there this week.   
      
     after that i got back to the ditch/pallet project   
   and finished getting that ready for the drain tubes   
   i will pull out of another garden.  one project   
   always is a chain reaction around here...  :)  i   
   still have a lot of pallets to deal with, but for   
   the moment they are not in the way.  the large   
   chunks of concrete i have some nice slabs i can use   
   for yet another project (next year).   
      
     we did get some peppers picked the other day   
   even if we did have a few hard frosts they were   
   protected enough by the foliage to not suffer too   
   much damage.  i think those will be turned into   
   some chili eventually.   
      
     tomorrow a good chance of rain so i may either   
   be breaking up garlic and planting, washing windows   
   or sorting beans or cleaning up some inside.  this   
   time of the year i'm usually putting off all cleaning   
   i can because the dust/dirt from beaning, but i   
   better make a small effort to get some of it off   
   the floor before i start to hear grumbles from the   
   management.  haha...  i'm surprised she hasn't   
   mentioned it yet actually, when it gets to dust-   
   bunny stage it begins to bother even me.   
      
     just a few beans here or there left to pick as   
   the hard frosts did finally stop even the plants   
   i was thinking might have some more tolerance for   
   frost.  well, at least that answered that question.   
      
     i hope everyone is having a nice fall season and   
   able to get ready for the cooler weather.
