Dinner last night was excellent!
Emily wasn't particularly interested in it. Too bad for her.
It's cold (not as cold as Chicago) and very sunny here today. Everything crunches underfoot. Tomorrow is supposed to be warmer and rainy. There were a lot of vegetable scraps from preparing last night's dinner and they are freezing in the compost heap. By spring, they should be slimy little black bits, all broken up from thawing and refreezing and rain falling and leaching out the nutrients. Yum, garden. I have taken to covering the pile with cardboard to slow down the squirrels eating it. We had about 1/5 of our normal crop of acorns and many oak trees around here didn't produce any acorns. So the squirrels have been a little more eager to get pumpkins and other types of food (decorations) that people leave out.
