So far this week I have gotten some more kumquat jelly made, the same kumquat tree from my FIL's tree. Had enough to make a double batch. I like the tartness an sweetness going on at the same time. Got a couple deer processed an in the freezer, DH is workng on the last one today. So at least we should have enough meat (beef replacement, other than steaks) til next seasons hunt.  Been picking up pecans on halves for an elderly gentleman in town,  now just to get them cleaned up an bagged for the freezer.

 I got out to the greenhouse an checked on everything,  looking good.  Watered everything really good, emptied some pots where things had died over the summer.  Will reuse the dirt later.  Cleaned up some trays so I can get some seeds started about the middle of Feb.  Don't want to start some things to early thats for sure. 

Today got some of the strawberry plants that are in the pathways replanted into some of the flowerbeds, only about 25 but theres more to go.  I came home early today from work due to rain,  but it was off an on which in between breaks got those in the ground.  Dug up about 50 daylillies for a coworker that wanted some.  I feel like I got some things done at least.  Now to get rid of this headache I can't shake.  Still want to order some seeds for the veggie garden,  not enough time in the day sometimes.
