Did the weekly shopping & topped off the fuel tank.
Mrs. Ranch is taking today off from her Christmas cookie baking, so I started a big batch Pryaniki (Russian spice cookies). The dough will rest overnight.

Ranch I probably missed it but have you planted onions yet?
Nah, you didn't miss it, I didn't plant a fall garden at all this year. I do have some green onions in one of the planters in the greenhouse (along with radishes & cilantro) as an experiment.

I planted a few. A little spinach and mustard greens. The last two years freezing weather in January killed my onions and I replanted. I decided not this year if it happens.
Took Dieter to the vet for his monthly shot & to have a stye remove from his inner eye lid.
Made a pot of pinto beans.
Finished baking the pyraniki. They're pretty good, I'd do them again!!!

Working on some keepsake boxes for Christmas gifts. This is a project I’ve been messing with in my spare time, we’ll see how they turn out.
Seasoned up a sirloin roast for our supper(s) & I'll throw in some veggies around 1700 hrs.
Fed the cattle.

Watered everything in the greenhouse.

Working on the boxes. Getting slowed down because the stain takes a while to dry. Gotta be finished by tomorrow.
Made vegetable/beef/barley soup out of the remaining sirloin roast.
Started applying the acid to the plant stands, then it started raining (0% chance). After the rain passed, I redid them & put them in the garage to dry.
Our granddaughter came down to pickup the Christmas cookies.

Family coming in Friday for Christmas. I have a Boston butt in a brine to smoke tomorrow.
Finished up the boxes. Next time I will have to use thicker material for the lids because carving so much out of them caused them to warp, and they won't lay flat. Oh well, no time for corrections on these two.
Forgot the pic of the inside of the box
Merry Christmas everyone!!!
Dieter woke us up about midnight to let us know that it was thundering/lightning (if he can't sleep, nobody is going to sleep). We got 1.52" of rain out of that storm.

Merry Christmas......Rained very hard here with some quarter size hail.......rained on and off all night and continuing to do so
Anyone ever tried to plant greens this late?
Not me...
Raining again this morning (0.70" thus far). It's not going to be a pretty day, but at least we're catching some tank water.

Put together another frame today, but used epoxy inlay instead of the square dowels.
