getting ready for winter in many ways

We worked out in the yard over the weekend.  Cleaning out the gardens and adding compost to them, basically getting them ready for when it's planting time again.  Mostly Jim worked and I took pictures.

 

And, harvesting the last of the onions that we planted late in the season.

We also brought out the snow scoop and shovels.  We keep a shovel at every door...a tip from my dad.

But, somethings not right here when we're bringing out the snow equipment and I'm seeing those wonderful SPRING flowers all over the yard...those wonderful dandelions.

Sadie girl our wonderful companion.  If we're working out in the yard she's right there with us getting in our way following us around wherever we go.  I haven't taken any pictures of her lately so I had her "stay" and she posed so cute for me.

Jim went to the other side of the yard and she wanted to go and see him in the worst way...She stayed put but kept her eye on Jim the whole time just itching to take off after him.

My wonderful hens are getting so big.  I can't wait until they start to lay those eggs.

All my flowering plants are done for the year like this wild rose bush is.

Well that's how our weekend went.  I hope you all had a great one as well however you spent it.

Hahaha -- now that's my kind of gardening -- taking pictures. Sadie is so beautiful -- I do miss having a dog to hug!

Hi Judy, great blog! Aprons, gardening, chickens, love it! I can relate to your dreams of a simple life, it's something I chose at a young age, and am still blessed enough to be enjoying it in the mountains of British Columbia, Canada with my family. Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving.

Sadie is such a good girl and beautiful too! I'm afraid Little Miss Matilda Bear has too many wiggles in her to stay very long.

Such nice pictures of preparing for winter. Thank you.
