Nice is good....sometimes

Hope everyone is doing good. Not much happening out this way, just staying indoors. I only go out if I have too. I'm limiting my Curves days to M,W, and F and the rest of the time it's the treadmill. I  had to go to the grocery store yesterday and was at the counter in line to pay and noticed that the person behind me only had a thing or two so gave them the opportunity to go before me and they refused. I actually said, "Please, go ahead of me, you only have a couple of things." They still refused, "uh, no, no, no-it's all right." Okayyyyyyy!, I thought, whatever rocks your boat. Tee hee. I actually asked her 3 times and tried to be nice, so much for that.

It's been cold and cold weather I love, but it really gets to the knees fast. We were out in back this past weekend and we finished picking the tangerines. I promised a center nearby that I would take the tangerines to them so they can give them to the people that visit there.

I'm going to TRY to upload the pic of the tree before we picked the tangerines. Okay...here goes...

Oh that's great. It loaded. A few years back, the neighbor had a fire in his yard and it spread to our yard and burned our orange tree, tangerines, and part of the peach tree.  All of our hedges that were on the fence burned, as well as some of favorite cactus that were in the cactus garden. I posted about it and had the pix to show how everything burned. Well everything came back and seemed to have  flourished since.

We are definitely grateful for that. We've added more fruit trees since, so now we are having double loads which is why we just give the fruit away. I don't  make jams or jellies too much anymore, too much work, now it's just a couple of jars for the winter.

Time to turn the radio on and listen to Rush Limbaugh. A lot of people can't stand him, but I really LISTEN to what he has to say, and have been listening to him for 20 years or so.

I've been backtracking in my blog book on the different posts for part of 2010 and it is interesting to know what we ate on a specific date, what happened, what was new, and the like. The other half of 2010 is on order now and am looking forward to completing my library in the near future.

I think the kitchen is calling to Gloria to go boil an egg, slice up an orange, and make some wheat toast. It's so easy to say that, but there is bacon in the frig and hopefully won't get tempted by it. Have a wonderful day and go out and do SOME THING and then tell me what you did.:DDD Take care



SYCAMO NO MO

And they all fall down....Two Sycamores, I large Pine down. We have plenty of trees in the back so there's lots of shade back there. These two Sycamores were a lot of leaves, a lot of work. I save a couple of the rings because they are just beautiful. I apoligized to the trees but earlier I sat out there in the front porch where I usually do in the morning and I could actually see the sky and hear myself saying Good Morning Lord. I won't miss the trees, the shade yes, the trees no.
