Surprise roommate

So I was looking at my turmeric to see how it was doing (leaves are starting to turn brown, so getting close to being able to harvest it) when I noticed there was an unexpected presence in the pot: Seems when I brought in the pot from outside last February, there was someone already living in it. I must be doing something right tho, it is a very happy looking worm. I will transfer it to the other pot when I go to harvest the turmeric roots. I figure I will also move the small start I have been meaning to re-pot while I am at it. The soil will go with it.

Dead Tree Edition Yule Tree 2016

Saturday I hauled the holiday decorations in from the shed and got started on this year's Yule tree. Decided to build the biggest one to date, so laid down a good base to start: Did it over two days, since I was going bigger than before I wanted to make sure it would be stable (not too mention making sure Napoleon couldn't destroy it before I got it finished). Had to break out the stepladder, but I did get it pretty tall: The final book was very appropriate I think :D Ended up with 3 strands of lights. Didn't go as heavy on the ornaments this year: As tempted as I was my stamina still isn't up to snuff (tho I will probably add a few more here and there over the next couple weeks LOL!). I still need to get the rest of the lights up around the house. Will be putting them in the 3 living room windows and the one over the dining room table. Finish up with some across the ceiling. Still need to put the ones up outside on the deck and see what other decorations I

Show support for Kellogg's and help your local food bank at the same time

So, Breitbart is calling for a boycott of Kellogg's after they decided to no longer advertise on a hate site. Kudos to Kellogg's! A friend just posted a great idea. Even if you don't eat cereal or buy Kellogg's, go out, buy some and donate to your local food bank. I just thought of a really neat idea. Everyone who does so tweet, post or whatever to Breitbart and Bannon you've done so so they will know how much is going to local food banks. While picking up some Kellogg's cereal, don't forget to pick up a few more items to donate. Check with your local food banks to see what all they need, it isn't always food that is needed. Non-food items like women's feminine hygiene, soaps, toothpaste, paper products, even some places accept pet food.
