When you talked to DD and it started to rain, where were you? Might have taken them off while talking and then didn't put them on when it started raining????

Beautiful garden that produces beautifully. Lot of work goes into a beautiful garden like that. I never was much on plotting like yours. I just like to sow em in long straight rows, like row crops.

Still eating juicy pears. I will miss them when they are gone. but have pear sauce for over winter. I'm thinking pear cider, I need to build a press soon.

Lord willing, I should have apples producing next year. Probably not enough for cider, but every season will produce more. plus I'll plant my grafted apple cider production row in October. So I probably should just go ahead and build a press this winter anyways. Been thinking a little about it and think I'll build it out of sycamore. sycamore is a non-toxic food safe wood so it should work well. but need to study more before deciding.

this one is made in the USA and of hard maple also another great choice.


Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

I have a hard time keeping up with my glasses at work -- yep, take the off and need to to find them! :old but, I cannot read the tiny print on those shelf strips with them on! And our paperwork needs a magnifying glass! Finally I bought the leash things so the can hang on me. 🤣. Now I can't find that 🤐

Having morning coffee. Pondering your dilemma with a knowing smile. 👍. They'll show up eventually.
