What did you do in the garden today?

Really?! Weird!
Their bakery is absolutely massive for these parts.
Now I'm going to have to call today and find out why the state isn't on the label. I thought that was state health regulation.

My wife found it at the other end. So it is on there.

It is implanted. I have 2 electrical leads in my spine between my shoulder blades that run to a battery implanted below my waste/top of my butt. It is most specifically for nerve pain (mine is my legs) but has helped with my actual low back pain a bit too. Here's a pic, you can see the battery, wires & my fusion hardware but can't see the top of the leads, the pic cuts them off. I know everyone here has seen this (sorry all, lol), but I swear by this implant so I tell my story to anyone that asks. My spine surgeons never mentioned it was even a thing, I had to see a pain med doc after 15 years of pain & failed surgeries. It has literally given me my life back. /tmi lol

Wow! A miracle for pain relief. Truly amazing.

I haven't been on here for a bit. Had a really bad inner ear issue with migraines, doing better finally.

I did feel well enough Sunday to get outside for yard work, when we just had warm day for a change. Some of the chickens & I cleaned up the garden, as it is totally done with, but imagine my surprise when I found a few tomatoes.
Even though we have had frost, they were sort of hidden in the bushy Marigolds, that protected them. So tomatoes in December... Kind of cool. I let the chickens have them, much to their delight.

I also saw a whole bunch of divets in the grass all over my garden area. I can't figure out what it's from? Maybe squirrels digging? They are about golf ball sized depressions in the ground that are just dirt, no grass. Whatever is causing it is not doing it in the vegetable beds... Just in the grass arareas.

Ditto with divets here. Many of them!!! Might be moles or voles? Might be squirrels. We have both here. But it is a real mystery because I have yet to witness whoever is making them... But "someone" is surely busy, either in the wee hours of the night making them, or perhaps squirrels in the day, I really don't know.

Do you have armadillos?

I have seen 4 skunks this year. First ones I have seen since 2012.
The 2 in the poultry yard have been eliminated. I let another out of a trap by the house, hoping not to stink up by the house, it was not grateful. So today's was not as lucky.

I get impressions from small birds dustbathing in loose soil, squirrels/rabbits digging, and robins bug hunting.

I found we have a few rats back there are active in the garden on green pumpkins.
Traps and gun is oiled and loaded.

I admired the dozen or so piles of leaves in the garden as I walked by.
