There are apple and peach farms very close to me

Our apples didn't to much last year. They better do something this year! A raccoon got most of the peaches last year.

I have several dozen fruit trees in, and now understand why farmers kill everything! One deer or raccoon can ruin a whole season!

I just have 4 apple trees and raspberry canes... I just finished pruning the apples so we will see what crop we get this year

Raspberries and black berries are under several feet of snow here yet. Apples and cherries are due for some pruning once the ground gets bare.

What kills our apple crop is early warm spells. Sometimes we get a good thaw and they bloom before the bees seem to make it out. Or they bloom and then we get snow for a week. No apples those years.

Agreed. Trainer worked me hard yesterday.... Not moving to fast. Amazing how I can be reminded of muscle groups that haven't been used much

 

[Missk_2022]

I don't come in shades @Missk_2022 whatever made you say that?

Grey is my favorite color...seriously
..any shade is just perfect

 

[Tweedledude]

Not quite... but in 3 weeks it will change

Thinking this but in shades of grey

Nice

Wow! Thanks.......reminds me of a whorehouse I went to in Frankfurt. Love flea markets. Love the old churches, bet they are empty like the rest of Europe. I can ride the rails OK, might get a 5 day Eurail pass.

I took a train from Munich to Berlin. 5 hrs, the 1st class upgrade was like 10 euro - cheap. See the ground move by you at 220kph.

Have fun.

I think I had the best shrimp I’ve ever tasted last night. Mrs wonderer and I got a shrimp cocktail and DAMN was it good!

Mrs wonderer likes it so much she ordered another one for dinner.

I ordered broiled flounder for dinner, and I’ve never had it served this way, but they gave me a whole flounder, minus the head! It was really good though, but I had to get in between all those rib bones.

Damn fine meal.

Good day cafe companions. Have a top Tuesday.

Good morning everyone. Two and a half hours into the work day and it’s already trying to kick my ass. Luckily it’s a short week for me
Hope y’all have a great day.

Back in my younger days I may or may not have visited the house of ill repute you refer to. But back then Frankfurt had two blocks of them right outside the main train station.

We both know the answer to that

A phone call today made me think. When I am 96, will I want major surgery? At this point in life, I can't see myself wanting that stress and risk but I wonder what I will think when it's my turn. Then I realized by social norm dictates, I had already devalued this person by even asking myself why they would consider such a thing. There is much to think about today.

Like the old saying… walk a mile in their shoes.

But it gets you to thinking about your/our own lives and what we value. What will we want when we are at that age?

Today is enough for me to grapple with.

But I don’t think you devalued them.

I finally get through to him and remind him this is an ongoing paranoia of hers

I would like to enroll them all into Information Retention.

Is there a group discount? Asking for some friends

If one is receptive, Allah will send cats to fill the void.

Anyone else have Sunrise, Sunset playing rent free? With the singer taking sips of between "sunrise" and "sunset"?? Just me?

I have and and there are electic flying quad copters now. Can you imagine what rush hour will look like.

I read enough Sci-Fi/Fantasy to declaratively state, "yes"

I mentioned before there are flying electric quad copters that can carry two people now. They are open cockpit like the Wright brothers but there and there are no parking lots for them yet.

Alternatively thinking "that didn't stop EVs" (charging stations more than parking lots) and "I wonder how fuel efficient they are if they need to hover all day until they return to their origination point?"

Can’t sleep. Ankles restless. Ghosts. Images of book pages burned to ash, blowing away in the wind.

So sorry you can't sleep... but lovely to see you again.

Morning all. It looks like the snow may have finally stopped! Yay!

Still not feeling well. Maybe my wife persisted long enough to finally give me the cold she had.

Not sure what you need for the equation to change to "feeling decent today" but hope you find it soon.

Agreed. Trainer worked me hard yesterday.... Not moving to fast. Amazing how I can be reminded of muscle groups that haven't been used much

Yes, those muscles are not shy about speaking up - at all!! Don't sit for too long unless it's in a hot tub today.

Luckily it’s a short week for me

Envious (says the woman just back from an almost 2 week vacation ). Lucky you, indeed!!

I don't see this as devaluing this person. As W said - it's more thinking about which mile you would choose to walk when it comes time to wear their shoes.

Sometimes our bodies answer for us (i.e. too frail) and we don't even need to be consulted really.

I think there's something in the air. My office had a similar discussion earlier today. Prompted by 2 unexpected and unrelated life events of 2 different coworkers. Lots of Deep Thoughts about Life Planning this week.
