Good morning Cafe. Wow Ginger that is a huge task. I am willing to bet your husband will end up helping you. It’s good exercise and if you are in no rush then it’s worth it. Dill, a little apple tree sounds nice! Jude, hope your power comes back soon. I hate using my iphone for reading or typing. Hope everyone has a great day. 24 more for me please and thank you.

Hope your power comes back on soon, Jude. I hate it when the power is out. We actually put in a generator years ago after we had a bad storm that caused a week long power outage in our area. Our generator doesn't power up everything, but just the core of what we really need. It comes on automatically and runs on propane.
24 more for all of us here, please and thank you.

Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...
Worry about tomorrow, tomorrow. Just get through today. Tomorrow will look after itself when it becomes today, because today is all we have to think about.

Hopefully the mammogram went well Jude, and that the power gets restored soon.
Have you any ideas on what you want to do with the beautification project Ginger? I'd also like to see pics of what you're doing.
The apple tree in our backyard is getting quite old dill, but think we'll just stick with it until it has to be removed. We can get lots of apples from the tree at the farm so there's really no need for one here in town.
Glad the dentist appointment went well Rava, hopefully you won't need any dental work for a long while.Quitting and staying quit isn't easy, its learning a whole new way of thinking. It's accepting a new way of life, and not just accepting it, embracing it...

Funny. I never use anything but my phone these days. I haven't used my computer for anything in months. I even print docs from my phone.
I'd love an apple tree, Dill. What type did you get? I eat an apple everyday! Sadly, we don't want to use water and our soil is caliche so the only things we have are what lives around us. Therefore, its bunch grass, sagebrush and rabbit bush, primarily.
My project will be building a rock river across the hillside and laying down mulch. The upper, steepest area will be covered with burlap erosion cloth so it stops eroding. Well, I hope it does. If it doesn't, I may invest in a core 10 wall along that portion. Core 10 is what we have on the lower portion of our house. It's a rusty steel that blends beautifully with our surroundings. I love rusty metal!
Yesterday, I built Cyrus a two story cat enclosure he'll enter through the garage. I'm waiting for the cat tree to get here before I let him use it.
Taking the day off to excise and hang out with my sisters and their grands and great grands! Should be a hoot. Ages 1-3 years old. Love that age! I wish my great grands were in town so they could join us!
That was a loooong post! I'll take another!Comment

Wow Ginger, you are quite ambitious with all of your projects, and it looks like this latest one is a biggie. You have more energy than I do!
Speaking of trees, we have a peach tree on our property which produces a lot of fruit every year. We make canned peaches and jam every Fall. Last year there was so much fruit that some of the branches broke from the weight. N.Y. is one of the top producers of apples in the country, second only to Washington. In the Fall we go to one of the many orchards nearby and pick loads of apples and then make applesauce and can them. Yum!
Here's to another 24 for all of us...Comment

Good morning Cafe. Ginger, I am so impressed with your ambition. WOW that is going to be beautiful. What a job!!! We went to the beach yesterday and got run off by huge waves and strong winds. Not the best beach day. I just read a great book called The Memory of an Elephant by Alex Lasker. Such a heartwarming read written in the words of the elephant. Something different than I have ever read but really enjoyed it. I hope everyone has a great and sober day. I would normally be excited that it’s Saturday but since being retired all the days run together! 24 more please and thank you.Comment

Enjoyed your "long post" Ginger, and appreciate the pictures. What you've done so far looks fantastic. I too use my phone for a lot more things than I used to, but I still use my laptop for creating documents and doing searches. I print from my phone when I find a good recipe or crochet pattern from time to time. The apple tree is called Monty's Surprise and it is quite an interesting variety with an interesting story:
Monty’s Surprise Apple – Heritage Food Crops Research Trust
Jude, I did not know that New York State is such a prolific apple resource. That is interesting. And I remember your wonderful peach tree from past posts.
Rava, the days do certainly run together for us. I find I have to take a moment upon waking to consciously remind myself what day of the week it is.
But I don't need a reminder to know that every day is a good day to be sober.

Dill, that is a very interesting read! It really falls in line with my food beliefs, as well. Thanks for sharing the info! An apple a day keeps the doctor away
Hope we all have an easy day!Comment

Jude, you were really up early today! My goodness!
Ginger, Mr. D was really taken by the story of that apple. I agree, it was fascinating. I hope our little sapling grows well and we get to one day pick those apples.
We're going to have a beautiful, sunny day, just like yesterday. That makes 2 in a row for us.
24 more, please and thank you.
