Good luck! I hope your back feels better soon!
We had decent weather earlier in the week, so I was able to get my outdoor Christmas decorations down. They’ve been replaced with “winter” themed decorations, usually more snow related than Christmas per se.
The Christmas tree ornaments have been put away and the fake tree has been dismantled. (I love real trees but I’m VERY allergic to them.) I will take down the nativity scene sometime in the next day or two. I get a little blue when the tree is put away, so keeping the crèche up a bit longer.
We had a cold front blow through yesterday, and got a dusting of snow. It looks like powdered sugar dropped all over the woods. So pretty.
Mrs. Augie is pretty much done with the Christmas decorations cleanup here. I think she has everything down and packed. There are a few boxes that still need to be stored away until it's time to do it again.
It's been an ugly winter in my part of Misery. We've only had one snowfall that lasted even a few days. Personally, I don't like anything about winter, and I have a hard time deciding if it's worse to be buried in that nasty white stuff for weeks at a time or to see everything brown and dead and slathered with mud. lol
I feel painfully accomplished today, though. I trudged my decrepit bones out to the garden patch yesterday and got the asparagus bed ready for spring. In spite of my best efforts to pamper them, several of the crowns I planted last spring didn't survive the Living Hell of a Misery Summer that followed. I've placed an order for 20 more crowns from Jung's. That will be enough to fill in the skips and add 20-ish feet to the row.
