My pants are getting a little looser this morning. That's nice! It's cold and wet but after I go shopping I'll take the dogs for another walk up the hill. They like walking any time, but they love it when the acorns and pecans are out. The pecans are not quite dry enough for humans to enjoy, but the dogs like them just fine.
I'll take my short shopping list with me when I go. I'm going to add a few bags of inexpensive topsoil and humus to the list and start building up the side of my garden where I want to have a raised bed. I'll have it ready for spring planting if I bring in a few bags and mix them together with my compost every couple of weeks. Slow and steady (and spread out the cost).
