New Years Eve

It's raining today ☺ I have been covering my raised beds every night and beginning to think it's silly. I'm hoping this rain will give my veggies the final push to grow so I can harvest what's left. Last year I harvested brussell sprouts late into Febuary, this winter is already proving to be much colder. I still have broccoli, brussell sprouts, and collard greens. I'm going to cook the greens tomorrow for New Years Day, my mom says it brings you good fortune for the year. I'll take a serving of that ☺ I know my critters aren't enjoying this weather today, but it's just a day and it's washing chicken poop off porches and bird poop off my car and fingers crossed amping up my veggies!
I sewed all day yesterday, I made three tote bags out of feed sacks, a few reusable veggie bags to take to the store, I'll be interested to see how those hold up, and I made the cutest curtains for my goat barn. I will take pictures of them as soon as the weather clears up!


Happy New Year to all my blog friends, I hope 2013 brings us all good luck and fortune!!!! Eat your black eyed peas and collard greens though just to make sure☺

  3. Can't wait to see those curtains in the goat barn! (I love doing things like that.)

    We have sunshine today (hardly recognized it!) which is wonderful but also cold temps . . . only 9 above now at 1 p.m. Our coldest daytime temp so far this winter. The sun does help even at those temps though.

    Sending best wishes to you and yours for a truly great New Year of 2013! (Didn't it just turn 2000??)

  5. "HAP'PY HAP'PY HAP'PY" New Year Kelly!

    Tonight its an early dinner of tacos, then later I am making "pigs in a blanket and cheese sticks" to snack on. We will sit around the fire pit. Senior with a beer, and me with a rum and coke. And that is our New Year Festivities.

    Your mom is right..the more greens you eat on New Years the more paper money you will have, the more peas you eat, then the more change you will have in your pocket.

  6. Kelly,

    Happy New Years To You and Yours!

    I'm afraid I'm not a black eyed pea person, I will eat plenty of collard greens though.

    Here's to luck, fortune, health, love, family and life in 2013.
