The Depot Farm

  Winter drags on with the cold seemingly relentless. Zero degree nights and days in the single digits. Outside work is keep to a minimum. I've learned to accept it. On the good side, I've managed to catch up and update all my paperwork, do the taxes, even get a head start on this years' files. My eyes hurt and my fingers are sore from writing. Who knew bookkeeping could be so strenuous.

  On the farm side, details for our CSA are completed, seeds and plant stock ordered are arriving almost daily; crop plans, rotations and planting calendars are completed. I was going to make a "to-do" list but decided to wait, (it was number one on the list!) because of the risk of carpal tunnel. I guess I'll have to be content with putting another log on the fire; having a cup of hot tea and thumb though my dog-eared catalogs one more time! Keep warm.
