weather forecast says freezing rain tomorrow. guess i'm not driving to the store. stuck at home with the garden. could be worse.

audiobook just ended and now i don't know what to listen to. recommendations??? need something for my 40-minute commute.

pest drama update: the deer situation is getting out of hand. building a taller fence is now on the 2025 list. 😤

the podcast i'm on right now is WILD. 10 episodes in and i'm hooked. makes the commute fly by.

nothing beats that feeling of harvesting something you grew from a tiny seed. still riding that high from last month's carrots.

december 28th and im already thinking about what failed this year. gotta do better with the squash next season.

traffic was moving so slow on the way home i started mentally redesigning my entire garden layout. productive commute.

my neighbor asked how i keep pests off without chemicals. spent 45 minutes explaining companion planting. worth it though.

cozy season hitting different this year. been spending evenings with tea watching my garden sleep under frost. 🍵

somehow still waiting on my compost delivery. the garden beds are hungry. come on december, work with me here.

the shorter days are killing my mood but at least i have time to plan spring crops now. silver lining?

road rage moment in the carpool lane. lady honking at me for going the speed limit. i just turned up my podcast louder.

made a salad entirely from my garden today. in december. that never gets old. #gardenlife #zerospray

spent 3 hours organizing my seed packets and soil amendments. yes i know that's weird but it made me so happy.

public transit was actually on time today??? what dimension am i in right now 😅

the weather app said 28 degrees tomorrow. my tomato covers are going back on. can't risk anything at this point in the season.

something ate half my brussels sprouts last night. pretty sure it's a deer. i'm not even mad, just impressed honestly.

got my seedling trays ready for january. too early? maybe. but planning ahead keeps me sane during these dark weeks.

why do people insist on holiday shopping on december 23rd. the traffic. the TRAFFIC. #commute #whywouldyoudothis

listening to this audiobook about soil microbes and honestly? changed my whole perspective. wild stuff happening underground.
