The Road To.........My Actifit Report Card: October 8 2023

alt

The road to…… destination to be determined. Some days bring about change that you knew was coming yet leaving you a bit surprised when it arrives.

The day began with church. Afterwards, we headed home; Hive account@silvertop to split a load of firewood and me, well I was going to ready my raised bed plot for a winter garlic crop. I harvested the remaining Roma tomatoes both red and green and then pulled the plants up. I weeded and churned the soil. Then I added half a bag of Starbucks coffee grounds they give away for gardening and some granulated fertilizer and mixed all that up. I placed the balance of the coffee grounds and the tomato plants on a pile of leaves that had accumulated, to begin a mulch pile for next spring. Then, before I began planting, I googled about winter garlic gardening. It’s a good thing I did as in all likelihood, the green tops of the garlic cloves would have continued to grow and effectively kill the clove! I need to wait until between Halloween and Thanksgiving to ensure they don’t grow just yet. So now my plot is ready. I just need to wait a little while.

After a quick bite of a late lunch, we headed out to Lynden and to get a coffee at the local Starbucks there. We also stopped by the Dollar and a Quarter store and then came home.

We decided to do a road hike instead of the usual trails and headed down North Pass to where it intersects with South Pass. Here’s some eye candy for you.

As we passed a ranchette, these guys came trotting over like we were their long lost friends. It was kind of cute to see the joy in their body language.

Not to be outdone by the mules, this guy came over as well.

I’ve ridden a mule before; they can be quite interesting and fun. I had flashbacks to our horses we had in Colorado, and found myself missing them a bit although they are no longer of this world. 😢

It was a nice road hike. See Hive account@silvertop’s post to see who else we ran into!

That’s gonna be it for today. Tomorrow will find me roasting coffee for a customer and then running an errand at church. 😕

Take care and have a blessed week ahead! 🙏🇺🇦
