New Year’s Day 2024

I took some time to be outside today. I added to my compost piles. I filled 2 wheelbarrows of leaves from the road gutter and put the leaves in my garden. I planted onions that had sprouted and also buried 4 different zucchini and yellow squash to see if they will grow come spring. Amazingly, the spinach and other greens I planted in October have grown this much despite freezing temperatures and not much moisture.

We have had very little snow this year. Reason for concern certainly. I plan to fast this upcoming Fast Sunday for snow.

Gil and I worked on various projects around the house today. Samantha and Dan returned to Durango today. Miss them already.

I found this quote to be very meaningful to me.
