We had a sumptious “pot-luck” style dinner and a fun time at a friend’s “new” farm (recently purchased). I took a chocolate torte for the dessert, and it was WILDLY appreciated. Of course that was after turkey and all the trimmings, and we were all groaning.

The only trouble with communal gatherings for turkey days, is that there are not LEFTOVERS to take home, usually. We’ll just have to have turkey another time before Christmas I think: both groceries stores had them for 99¢ pound this week. I bought  one for Christmas already but might get another small bird.

After our usual Sunday morning breakfast, I came home and planted about 350 tulip bulbs. I still  have more than a thousand to plant, but hey, I’m making progress! While digging trenches for said bulbs, I was digging OUT quack grass and some nasty perennials that I don’t want anymore, like perennial cornflower (Centaura montana) and Valerian, a Silene and even some of the Pacifac Giant delphiniums. So I’m staying positive and thinking how lovely all these tulips will be in the spring. I will deal with the hyacinth (and the amaryllis when they arrive) later.

I’m quite tired and have had too much food and a little too much wine, so I’ll say goodnight, again!

Stay well, my friends.
