At this point a bad pandemic would be a welcome relief from all the other horrible events...

(Sort of not seriously...)

I’m taking a little break from my ping lists, can’t stand the bad news, and Dh was away for 6 weeks too. He just got back so now he can irritate me again in the nice homey way!

We've got some literal "heirloom" apple trees going here now, originally from the family farm on my dad's side. All manner of unusual apples, early ones, late ones, strains that were created to store well, to cook well or to dry well. Don't even know the names of several, just their purpose in the greater scheme of things apple-related. Some aren't especially pretty and some are hard as a rock, but they do what they were originally meant to do.

That is really cool! I found a golden-delicious-type apple tree growing wild on my land last year. This fall I'll be planting seeds in the hopes that I can begin grafting heirloom varieties on to them in a couple more years. I like having a mix of "tried and true" and "mystery surprises" in my orchard :)

I'm jealous of yours though.

Just goes to show that I’m really not observant enough. Oops!

Lol! No biggie. :-)

I don’t think I could eat a liberal. I’ve heard they’re slimy, like boiled okra.
