    Winter Composting in Minnesota?

    Since I collect chicken poop out of the coop all winter long and dump it in my compost pile, I guess I've been composting all winter long too. And it's been a cold, snowy winter! Compost piles have to be big enough to start the process. I add the kitchen scraps that don't go to the chickens...

    Daily Gratitude—2026

    I'm grateful that we're going out to a favorite restaurant with friends for an early dinner today. The food will be delicious, I will have leftovers to bring home, and the company will be fun. We always have a good time.

    🐝💗Our Backyard Beekeeping Journey!💗🐝

    I'm going to set up a chicken waterer as a bee drinking station. I plan to put a tablespoon or two of bleach in a gallon of water to keep it from turning nasty, and some (clean) rocks in the trough for the bees to stand on. I just have to wait a few more days so that it's not in the 20s overnight.

    Your 2026 Garden

    Another way to serve greens to chickens is to put them in a suet cage and hang that in the run.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    A few days ago, I took some pictures of the gullies in my garden. This is after 2-3 rounds of pounding rain. I didn't have anything for scale; it's about 4-5" deep. I piled some leaves at the point where the wash starts. Hopefully it will slow down any more hard rains.

    The Positive Thread—2026

    I finished another chemo hat for my friend. This one is more appropriate for the upcoming hot summer weather. I'm very pleased with how it turned out. I wrote down the pattern and might make another one for myself, just for fun.

    Here is the second chemo hat I made for my friend. This one is more suitable for the coming summer weather. I rather like the pattern; I think it turned out well. I might make another one for myself. I have plenty of both the pink and blue yarn left over from the first hat I made, which is a...

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today—2026

    Finished another chemo hat for my friend. This one is for warmer weather, which is coming soon, I'm sure. I wrote down the pattern, in case I want to make it again. I finished reading one book and started reading another.

    Things you wish you could say

    I hope to not find out this way. I really hope she has realized (via the chickens) that animals are a lot of work and they tie you down, and she isn't thinking about goats anymore. The chickens as "a life lesson" for the boys didn't seem to pan out much... I see a very sullen face when one of...

    According to the meteorologist, we could have a "slight dusting of snow" on grassy surfaces. What is the difference between a "dusting" and a "slight dusting," you might ask. I asked one of my mafia friends (of whom I have none), and he said this: (Fake Italian accent) You slight me once, I...

    Do honeybees like forsythia? There are two pretty big ones on our property.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Hubby is raking the leaves off the daffodils. He rakes the leaves into piles, I haul them off to where I want them. Most are going on the garden, but a couple have gone on the compost pile. I'm going to hoe some weeds when we get sunny days. It won't kill them, but 50s is too cold to dig/pull...

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today—2026

    I went to the hobby/craft store for some double pointed knitting needles to finish my latest hat project. I went to the grocery store on the way home. I did a load of dishes. I need to figure out how I want to work the rest of the decreases for the crown of the hat. It's to the "switch to...
