had some freezing temps in the teens and today it was over 70. gotta love new mexico. a trip to the alpaca ranch is being organized for a day off to get a couple trailer loads of that precious manure, and next years harvest should be better. many plans for that as well. garlic is getting planted tomorrow after we get home from work. wood might happen too. definitely by saturday. compost bin got emptied, have more to do there. want to start a worm type compost bin. need some screen and a better bin. might cost ten dollars in hardware. woodlot is large and in charge. i cleared all this brush and now it extends from the house/driveway all the way to the woodshed. more updates to come soon, lots going on this time of year, but i like it. so anyways here are some of the better photos from the last few weeks:
