Busy

One of our neighbors across the street has fruit trees and berries that don't seem to get picked. He has given us permission to help ourselves. Al picked a pot full of blackberries and they are oh so delicious! I picked gravenstein apples and cooked them up into applesauce. There are pears, more apples and berries, and I think apricots. We've eaten some of his plums before and now need a ladder to pick from higher limbs. We are thankful for our neighbors that share.

This morning I was in Angwin stocking up on meat analogs and made several phone calls back to MI since we can't get good reception at our house. Unfortunately, I was only able to find one friend at home. It was good to talk to Linda K. I miss all my friends there.
