january in the garden

to say that all is quiet in the garden right now is an understatement! we haven't been out there much. it has been way too cold for digging in the dirt. but don't think for a minute that we have forgotten about the garden! we are actively planning this year's beds so watch out, we may be calling on you to help us. although we aren't working out there, we do visit regularly to dispose of things in the digester-things we can't compost like meaty and fatty foods.

on our last trip out, the sage was still going strong.

we aren't the only ones using the digester. it looks as if someone is living under it.

this was an unusually warm day for january so we went for a walk with the mutt on the new greenway trail. i can't wait for them to finish the entire trail. it will run from caldwell park near nolensville road all the way to the library. finally, i will be able to skate in my own neighborhood!

i like to look at the dried out dead flowers. some of them are still loaded with seeds.

a big creepy tree

next warm sunny day, take a walk on the trails at the ellington agricultural center. there are wooded trails that go around the grounds and the paved trail along the 7 mile creek. check out the garden, it won't be long before we get back out there!
