Voted days ago. Spent the morning shoveling compost to make my new compost pile for 2021. Seemed more productive than the alternatives, and highly appropriate all around.

I bought my dream house- small with about 1/2 acre for gardens and chickens. I live in a rural area, but the property taxes are horrendous and keep going up. I pay $2000 in taxes while a friend who lives in a neighboring county with a similar house and grounds pays $400. In 8 years, mine have increased hundreds of dollars- and I homestead exemption and over 65 exemption- and still, it goes up. I had hoped to live here til the end, but now I wonder how long I can afford to stay.We just bought this place 3.5 years ago and have no intention of going anywhere. The taxes have appreciated about as much as the property itself. It would take a large stack to make me move.
The chicken dug out my dormant artichokes. I had 5 good ones going into summer now I have dust piles around the planters.Good afternoon gardeners. I watered the artichokes this morning, nothing else is really happening. Today is day 5 for the duck eggs and I can’t tell whether there’s anything going on or not. Hopefully in a few more days I’ll be able to.
