This morning I planned for returning to bed for a nap, after my late night walking the garden borders.

Instead, I spent the morning searching out things like our big food grinder, in preparation for putting food by. Along the way I packed up most of the seed collection and tucked it into the wooden trunk we found for the purpose a few months ago. I boxed up the summer's accumulation of paint for outdoor equipment and seating and TL tucked it away, and we did the same for our dormant oil and such for the orchard and garden.

The results in clude a cleaner kitchen and three more boxes of odds and ends of canning supplies we don't need. Get 'em out of here!
