Jojo got a new home

I finally put an ad on Craig's List to find Jojo a new home. I got several inquiries and eventually settled on a young couple with another beagle, a yard to run in and a doggie door already installed. These people love to take their dog out to the doggie park and to the lake, so I think Jojo will  have a lot of fun. And I get some peace and quiet here. No more stinky surprises, no more 3 dog walks and getting all tangled up in their leashes (wish I could have gotten a picture of that). No more trying to type with a doggie nose under my arm, making it impossible.
Today I got from a Freecycler a mirror to hang on our bathroom door and a small plastic table for outside. I put all the Christmas trees in pots and put the kitty litter buckets under the RV, out of sight. I may use them for other things or give them away. The trees look nice now, all around the RV. I still have to get some potting soil. But I am not in any hurry. It's still cold outside and the trees are probably fine in their little pots still.
I have been trying to knit hats for newborns to send to Haiti, but I keep dropping stitches off the needle. I am frustrated. I have one crocheted hat finished and that was easy for me, so I started another crocheted hat. I might as well do what I am good at doing and not worry about what is difficult.

Gardening ideas

I planned on getting a plot in the community garden this spring and I may still do that. But now I am thinking of other ideas. I have gathered more pots for the Christmas trees. This will make our space look better than being surrounded by kitty litter buckets. I think I would like to have our salad veges here instead of across town. I'm thinking of using those upside down hanging tomato pots for cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and maybe some other plants. Now I have to look for some stands, coat racks or something to hang the pots from. I have strawberry cuttings in a plastic bag lined box. I got those from another freecycler. I think it would be fun to have blueberry bushes and maybe some dwarf fruit trees here too.
And should I do some hydroponics? Just thinking...
