I couldn't get into byc for a few days.
my server locked me out and wanted me to log in. of course I am computer challenged so I can't do that. instead I figured out a back door way to get in here. still can't do FB though.
we are having nice days with rain just before night. today I got the lawn mower going and did a few laps to get the cobwebs out.
the fruit trees are blooming. the rhubarb is almost ready for pie. even the grapes are budding.
I am still cleaning and fixing and re arranging in the shop. today I built a large shelf for odds and ends of lumber and plywood under the stairs. still have to make brackets to hold the shelf up. I removed the extension table from the planer and cut it shorter for this shelf. I don't plane enough long boards to warrant using up space for an extension table.
today it was 65F and sunny. that was plenty warm for me. supposed to go up into the 70's soon. I hope I can survive. lol

I missed the northern lights. I was sleeping and I went out at 4:30 am, but I didn't see any. People posted pictures about 11pm so they were visible down here... until the clouds rolled in

I planted yet more potatoes today. And dug more ditches to plant more. Plus I mulched one of the strawberry beds because hubby was complaining about berries rotting in the dirt. Then it got too dark to do any more.
Went to the doctor, my heart rate is low. So decreasing one of my medications.
Then off to get my hair cut. Too hot with long hair, and I get tired of tying it up.
Supposed to get rain tonight and tomorrow. We need it.

this is a spectacular year for blossoms all over the area.
this is our volunteer 45 to 50 year apple tree.
it has two trunks. each produces a different king of apple.
3/5 of the blossoms are from the left trunk.
you might be able to see the line where the blossoms meet.
we have all kinds of different kinds of bees.
I hope the frost holds off.

this is the newest plum tree. second year for it to produce plums. the blossoms are holding on very long this year. good, gives the bees more time to do their job.

You should have plenty of apples even with the wildlife getting their share.

I foresee lots of apple pies and apple butter, jelly
