I was really enjoying the process until I got the news alert on my watch that there was another mass shooting in Texas today. This violence is beyond ridiculous. Guns are killing people.

It’s never produced more than a few apples, but this year there are a few dozen. Still not a lot, but I’m very excited about these sweet/tart-tasting, homegrown beauties. I could definitely happily live on a small orchard. I just love the satisfying feeling that comes from growing our own food. I wish more emphasis was put on suburban farming as opposed to exhaustive efforts to keep one’s lawn as green and weed-free as the neighbors’. Growing food and natural dyes
