It seems like fall has ended with a bang of white. We&#8217;ve got almost a foot down now, so we&#8217;ve been doing a lot of inside chores. Last night, I was cutting up some Olinka pumpkins, which have wonderful naked seeds inside while Will was shelling some rare Tuscarora Bread beans. Buffy was &#8220;helping&#8221; by lying in the crate of bean pods, on the sofa. Then, when I came back from rinsing off the Olinka seeds in the kitchen sink, I had to laugh. Buffy had given up on &#8220;her&#8221; bean pods and was sleeping upside down next to the bin of beans. Such hard work! It just tired her right out.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_9670\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-9670\" style=\"width: 1600px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Buffy_8741.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9670\" src=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Buffy_8741.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1067\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Buffy_8741.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Buffy_8741-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Buffy_8741-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Buffy_8741-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Buffy_8741-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Buffy_8741-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Buffy_8741-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.backwoodshome.com\/blogs\/JackieClay\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/Buffy_8741-630x420.jpg 630w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-9670\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Buffy, after an evening&#8217;s hard work.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Will had his annual VA appointment and checkup and when we got home, there was a Breck&#8217;s box by our front door.

Okay, Plan B. I&#8217;ll pot them up individually and keep them in the house over winter. And, hopefully, I&#8217;ll successfully plant them out in the spring. I love my peonies. And they transplant best in the fall.
