Volume 16 - Day 316/50, 2024 - Monday - Veteran's Day

We only made it to 84 degrees today, that is 11 degrees above normal. I know I will regret all this grousing when we get below 32 degrees for two days in a row, but I am really ready for some fall like weather. We had a nice walk this morning, and then it was in to the office for me. I left about 12:45, because I had a two o'clock appointment to have the trees I bought yesterday planted. Pictured here are the two peach trees. They are awfully scrawny looking right now (perhaps the scrawniest trees I have ever seen), but I expect that, with my nurturing and high level of care, they will be beautiful by this time next year. We had a row of trees at the farm; apples, peaches plums (I think) and pears. We did get some fruit off them, mostly apples, and I enjoyed tending them. So, we will see how these go. There is also another Mexican Plum, which hopefully pollinate with the plum tree that Michael and Lynda gave me when I moved in to the Curious House. Some things that should be easy are just becoming more difficult. I have to shop around various drug emporiums to see who at the moment has one of my prescription meds in stock, and when I find one, I have to act quickly to get it refilled. SO...what a mess. I can't believe tis, but I did not even mention that I did laundry yesterday, most likely because I tried to put it out of my mind. Now, almost everything I own smells Downy fresh. If everything goes according to plan, the ROMEOs will have a  nice breakfast tomorrow. Fingers crossed.
