Here we come a wassailing Among the leaves so green, Here we come a wandering So fair to be seen. “Health to thee, good apple-tree,Well to bear, pocket-fulls, hat-fulls, Peck-fulls, bushel-bag-fulls.” “Here’s to thee, old apple-tree, Whence thou may’st bud, and whence thou may’st blow, And whence thou may’st bear apples enow Hats full! caps full! Bushel-bushel-sacks full, And my pockets full, too, huzza!” #Wassailing #Apples #Orchard #gardening #Allotment #NewEngland #BeetBear

Well, another trip around the sun brings another birthday for me. Another chance to have some coffee and cake and sit around doing nothing while looking out at all the snow. Happy New Year! Calendar says I'm 76 but my head says I'm still 25... #Gardening #NewEngland #birthday image
Very disturbed night with the temperatures plummeting and the wind gusting to 50 mph / 76 km/h. Really rattled the house all night. Wind chills in the 15°F range (-10°C). Could we please stop with all these wind events please? Screen shots from my weather station this morning. The remaining wet snow is now 4 inches of solid ice. #Gardening #Allotment #NewEngland #Weather
