robbyThe old washer is junk, and I'm home today because the new washer was to be delivered. Now they tell me Thursday. I picked out a energy star model that supposedly will pay for itself, in energy savings over time.
Halo loves the mail lady, as she carries dog treats in her truck. Her own Australian Shepherd just passed away, and I think she has a soft spot for Halo, as well.
I finished chipping that huge pile of tree limbs. Thank God; seeing that crap out by the road was getting oppressive. The sycamore branches weren't so bad, but I also had a huge privet limb that came down in a recent windstorm. It was thick with fresh green leaves and bunches of purple berries, and kept jamming the little electric chipper. Finally, I consigned all the detritus to compost piles, with hope that it breaks down by spring.
I did some weeding today, and found that a little crown is now forming on one broccoli plant, but in general, the vegetable garden has really slowed down in this cold and gloom. We had a freezing night recently that got down to 26 degrees. I covered only the most delicate avocado tree, and even though everything else was fully exposed, I don't see any cold damage.
