Strawberries mulched. Check.  Raspberries pruned. Check. Dogs vaccinated. Check. Gutters cleaned. Check. Tires rotated. Check. Everything in the refrigerator past its sell-by date tossed. Check.  You know, I really thought I would use up that Major Grey’s chutney.  Tabasco lasts longer than most marriages.  And  just didn’t like the fig marmalade someone brought me from Turkey.  Jars ready for the recycling bin. Check and happy new year to me!
