    Good work and good decision. Those burrowing baddies are such a nuisance.

    But what about that visitor in the tree-line !

    You always have some good pics for us.
    I hope that you can get that structure back in order soon…but don’t rush it.

    I have not gotten much done the last few days. We had some heavy rains and thunderstorms, along with lots of hail sunday night. It sounded like it was raining rocks.

    I did however finish the second apron, and can give them to my friend on Sabbath. I am glad that is done.

    I did cut back my 2d asparagus bed a few days ago, and today, I hauled a wheelbarrow load of the wood chips to it. It needs another load or two, but it was nearly dark when I did that. I will get at that as soon as I can.

    I was going to do some housework today, and never got that far. But sunday, I can start back at the rest of the woodchips and the leaves and other chores. I like to rake them when wet because they stick together and do not get scattered to the wind. I mulch flowerbeds or add them to the compost piles. There are some branches to clean up from the storms, nothing major, but I need to pick them up.

    Have a Blessed Christmas in case I am busy outdoors.

    Too wet to do any gardening not that there's much to do.
    So I found myself a job after I did a load of washing..well..not me..the washing machine and tumble dryer.

    I bought this small TV for my wife when she was for a month in the "half way house" for more physio after she left hospital before she came home.
    Since she's been home, we haven't really a use for it. So I stuck it in my "office," (box bedroom) upstairs. I'd my old VHS recorder/player and a spare
    CD/DVD player, so I connected them both up. There was already an aerial feed and I've an internet connection via an adapter connected to the mains supply. I needed a scart to USB lead for both the old machines as they have no USB sockets.
    So they are all up and running.

    Not that I'm ever likely to use them much, any more than the spare tuner/amp that's up there too. (I've another on a shelf)

    But I have several VHS tapes of film noir that have not yet come round again on TV.

    DHR so nice to hear your DW is home for the holidays.
    You have fixed up a nice set up for tv , dvd and record collection - which looks quite extensive. I still have all my records from 60’s 70’s 80’s and tapes. I don’t know what the heck to do with cassette tapes or dvd movie tapes. Most are stored away. Memories are attached to those days and more memories to make. Sending holiday blessings good your way and to a happy healthy New Year .

    I was going to work on the raised bed renovation. Then after walking Rufus, I just wasn't up to it. So I didn't.

    The carnation seedlings germinated at 4 days on the warming mat. I moved them to the LED tray where I already have lavender seedlings. I like carnations foe the fragrance.

    Other than that, it's the usual hen and duck care.
