You could probably make cider from my apples.

I'm not even sure what kind. I just like the way it sounds.

I'll bet Sadie sue could tell us more.

What is that ???

A wine.

Saw that one earlier. We've been raspberry hunting, but Ballard is really far away. We weren't expecting anything close though.


But we went ahead and ordered 50 raspberry starts from Raintree today!!

My Dad has the best raspberries in his yard, and he did not plant them in a conatiner, so they send out 40 shoots evey year and I plan on getting some soon, but I will plant them in some of those big boxes rather than have them send out suckers every year.
They have THE BEST raspberries...free.
So I am gonna get a bunch and probably plant extras in pots.

You could email or call them. I'm sure they could advise you. They're a really good nursery.

Exactly what we were thinking.


And to the reply about Persimmons from Raintree Nursery, honestly, I've never tried 'em before. I've always been curious of their Paw Paws too, but I'm sure they'd require a greenhouse or something, being native to hot and humid (or arid?) places and all.


It is REALLY WINDY out here!!

What do you drink?

Well I am not sure which is NASTIER beer or wine but neither are worth the time or effort to me!

BTW thanks Tif for clearing that up for me.

Back in the seventies, my mother made blackberry wine. We found some a couple of years ago in the storage room. We figured it would be vinegar by now, but it was really good; like a sweet dessert wine. I'm not much of a drinker, but I like a glass or two on special occasions.

I feel the same way about beer and wine. I like the idea of wine but I dont like the taste.It also gives me a headache. I would like to try and make it though, I do enjoy making flavored vodkas and rums.

Yep on the list and no brownies.

No brownies EVER? Now that's cruel and unusual.

Oh but I am on a diet now anyway!!

Bobcats usually think they cannot be seen, and if they freeze, you will not see them.
If it continues to hold still out there despite your shouts, why not 'dispatch' the critter ?

My father's father was an alcoholic. My father attributes it to having been wounded thirteen times in WWI, and finally losing a leg. My father has been drunk once in his entire life, and never did it again. He liked to come home in the evening and have ONE drink.

My DH does not drink either...not a drop of any kind. He was raised by a horribly abusive alcoholic father (no mother in the picture) and has forever sworn off alcohol. They are out there.
