Coffee anyone ?

BBQ is perfectly fine. That is one solid chunk of metal...

Once I had a kid pick up the glass shards...there is no evidence of impact...well...it did get shifted over a foot.

The car though.... giant industrial saran-wrap over where the window used to be. -sigh-

Oh my did't that earthquake shake that BBQ over into your car window? hahhaaaa Bunnylady had it right.

I hate when they ask me what day of the week it is. Us retired people don't pay a lot of attention to that, they are all a lot a like.

My Dh still works and when I tell him something about the weekend he looks at me and tells me it's what ever day... He sometimes thinks I'm crazy. But your right
when you don't work anymore the days don't matter that much.

Dh and I bought several fruit trees about 3 years ago and one was a Bartlett Pear according to the tag. But yesterday I went to look at it and this is what I found.
What does this look like to you all?

Looks like a red pear. They taste better anyway and more healthy, supposedly with the red skins.

it is still raining...... I wish we could grow pears apples or some such thing. Lucky you! They look like they are growing nicely.

And some of us who work crazy schedules never know what day it is without a computer

Are you safe to speak to, yet?



Didn't I see that there'd been an earthquake in your neck of the woods recently? Maybe that's what you can blame this on - an aftershock.

It was only a 5.2 or 5.4, so it didn't do anything exciting.

Kind of like when the nice officer says, "Do you know how fast you were going? " and you want to respond, "well if you don't know I'm certainly not going to tell you"

I lie. Totally straight face. Lie.

That looks lovely.


I think our goats killed our apple trees... they had their first good crop last year.

-sigh-

As soon as the goats figured out where those trees were, they were climbing, climbing the chainlink fence. And our half Nigerian dwarf was jumping over the fence until we made it six feet tall.

Yes Mtn Margie it is a Bartlett red pear. I had no idea... hahahaaa Our other Bartlett pear has green to yellow pears on it so I thought it would be the same.
Surprise I had to ask my Southern Gardener group and the Plant ID group what it was. We have never eaten red pears but we look forward to it.
Al maybe you should put some hardware cloth around your apple tree's. I'm sure you all need them more than the goat's!

We thought about getting some goats since we downsized the number of cows we had. Now the pasture grows faster than the cows can eat it.
Dh talked to a guy at work that raised Borer goats and he came home and told me to forget it. Oh well now he has a zero turn and he cuts what they can't keep up with.

Thank you. May I ask why you can't grow them?

Fresh coffee just brewed in the pots. Can someone bring in coffee cake, donuts, or scones tomorrow ?
