Just dropping off a quick post to say hello. I need to take advantage of this good weather day to get some things done outside. JK chopped down my grapefruit tree last weekend and it is laying all over the ground. I need to get as much as I can in the barrel for pick-up. It's going to take several weeks to get it all hauled off, but I will be glad to be done with that nasty, dirty tree that gave tons of grapefruit no one wanted.

Billie your opening today, and the music, is so pretty. Thank you for the lovely images you bring.

See you all later, I am heading out the back door.

Thank you, Lori. You, above all, certainly know how much I enjoy doing it. :)

You know, talking about your grapefruit tree being so fruitful, I feel that way about any fruit or pecan trees. As much as I love fresh, sweet, juicy peaches (and it's not possible to buy them in the grocery store because they taste more like cardboard), when the one big peach tree we had starting dying a few years ago, I was SO happy we could finally have it cut down, and I wouldn't have to go out every evening after the peaches ripened and pick a sack full of them and THEN they had to be peeled and cut up and put away in the freezer. The only thing I miss is getting a package out of the freezer and making a fresh peach cobbler, or just serving them over ice cream. :)
