You just made me think of my dad... They were really poor when he was a kid and he got into raiding farmers fields.... They came to BC and it turned into raiding orchards....
Be willing to bet more than just raccoons got those nectarines. Thanks for making me think of my dad

Deb,

DH and I were postulating over dinner what he was going to do with all the apples. Duh-oh! Sell them. Didn't look like he was one to have a cider press. Now it makes me wonder if all my nectarines disappeared to raccoons or not...... Needless to say, the peaceful tranquility is definitely disturbed. I should check with the neighbors to see if they've had anything gone missing lately. The guy has been driving up and down the street to his handyman job for a bit...

I take it he didnt have to climb over a fence to get to em.... Is there a way you could do a hot wire fence around your fruit trees.... The post a sign.... NO Tresspassing....?

Here people get shot at for messing around on other peoples property.... Much less stealing..... urg.

Rex-Goliath is our go-to wine to have on hand... I really like the chardonnay.

Sounds good.... How is their Cabernet?

I been drinking boxed wines for so long a single bottle would taste good right now.

Boxed wine


They should make boxed beer

 

[Peep_Show]

Can't due to the carbonation... Otherwise the box would look like JiffyPop

No. No fence, but now we're contemplating....which is sad because it means extra weed-whacking and we have one of the few lawns on the street and so everybody's dog loves to romp on it during their daily walk (AND the owners are courteous to pick up after those that tarry a bit, so I do not mind)

(btw, yes, we're dog people)

Poop thought I was onto something

The cabernet sauvignon rex Goliath has is darn good, we killed almost 1/2 the huge bottle tonight, and we're not big drinkers. Very mellow, berry and vanilla easy to drink and $8.99 for a 1.5 litre bottle of good drinking wine.

Bah boxed beer! We picked up a 6 pack of hard cider too. I anticipate by Monday our booze stash will be depleted, especially if caponize goes badly. My bf is very attached to 1 roo he named Brazen. Brazen will be last to go under the knife. Which is why he's dropping me off to get *gasp* more roosters tomorrow, in fact, I'm packing up 20 pullets in the am to sell/trade for more cocks. B/c we can't get enough cocks around here learning how to caponize, which is and isn't funny. I have obviously been drinking.

talking of people who are oblivious to how the world is supposed to work:


I am still a bit ticked


I just spent hours cleaning up an apartment, with all of my kids helping.....didn't get finished until 9 at night, way part the bedtime for the 6 yr old and 9 yr old. -sigh-


But even the little ones were very helpful..... the 6 yr old bagged up all of the clothes.


Anyway, a renter, kept lying and lying and lying and lying. Got to the point that if she told me she was going to do something, I knew it wouldn't happen. I obviously though didn't REALLY learn that lesson, because I kept hoping that she really would move her stuff out, even though it was clear she wasn't gonna pay me.

I waited until the last minute, because she did keep stringing me along, and I REALLY didn't want to do it......

But nope, had to move out all of her stuff, clean everything, scrub everything, I am TIRED, and the kids are TIRED. The big flatbed truck is stuffed, so I couldn't haul off the bags of trash. I need to get up early enough tomorrow to get all of the trash bags hauled into my car, and pick up all of the trash that was left outside by the parking area...and hope all of that fits in the car.....

All before the new tenant shows up.

Also, the stove is partly busted, I wasn't able to clean the walls as well as I would have liked (my hands started hurting too much), and even the newly painted wall looks dingy.

My back hurts...her couch was WAY heavy. I decided her giant TV is now a part of the apartment, because I wasn't about to move that, it looked heavier than the couch. -blah-



I am ticked, I am upset, I am TIRED, and I hurt, and I think I am way hungry. The spouse is gone, and no one has fed me properly.

Alaskan- you are in Anchorage right? My daughter is near there and is very responsible and 24 working 2 ft jobs, and might be looking to move again soon.. her bf of 3+ years and her just broke up after moving into a new place she can't afford. Anyhoo.. stop being a nosy mom DK in the chicken forums doh! I hear my daughter's voice "Oh MOM! Stop momming me to DEATH!"

I would feed you wine and beef pot roast if you were here.
