COLD DARK ROOM

I think Bev, @TurtzInMyYard , would be a nice addition to our little group. Let's see if she figures out the 'alert' system!

I'll let a member that's been here longer explain the name of it. They do it so well. But I will say this. It's a bunch of people from different parts of the world that chat about anything they feel like chatting about. ? so welcome welcome ?

I like contrast on a house!

Me too. I thought when I picked the new roofing tiles for our home I made a big booboo. I picked sapphire blue because I couldn't take my eyes off of it hanging on the wall at the building supply store. And then I thought oh no! What was I thinking! it will stand out like a neon sign! but it didn't and mellowed over time. Now I'm glad that was my color choice. It suits the house.

Darn….another hot n sticky start to our day. Just too yucky to garden much or even kayak. It’s 80% humidity out….and has been in that range for the past three weeks. Banana trees are loving it and our figs are ripening.

Ive finished up a few little wooden crafty items, you all have seen some of these “in progress”.

Natural Edge Bowl


Mini Bee House


Thatched Roof Bee BnB


Bowl of Figs from our Trees

Happy Saturday all! Today, I am trying to get my truck detailed… by me!!! I’m saving the money I would spend on That to buy new decor and bedding for the living quarters in horse trailer. I’m also putting a conversion kit on the manual jack to make it electric.. I’m getting past the point for all the manual labor that I can avoid ?…. It’s still really hot now, but cooler weather will be here before you know it and Ready and I are going to spend some quality time on the trails!

Hi All....happy Saturday, unless it's Sunday. I don't have much need to entertain days, dates or times anymore. Because of this unexpected enchantment...every day is a happy one.

It's funny...before I retired, there was SO much I wanted to do, but my career kept me from it. At times, I would daydream about all the things I wished I could do. Now, I can't think of a thing, and what's more -- I don't even want to!

I LOVE being able to sleep the whole night through, wake up when I WANT to instead of when I HAVE to. I am blessed to be -- foot loose and fancy free.

Enjoy your Saturday, I'm off to bake bread...

I'm glad you're actually enjoying retirement cause baking bread is a lovely pursuit. I'm going to try crab apple jelly this year because I have to at least save a part of the crazy crop I got this year. The limbs are hanging to the ground and full. That sounds like a perfect match. Fresh bread toasted with some nut butter and jelly. ?

Now, we're talkin'. Crabapples are a nostalgic food for me. My grandmother had a tree and made jelly from it. She would be in the mood to bake a cake and she would spread that Crabapple jelly for frosting. Sometimes, she used muscasdine jelly. It was DELICIOUS!

Yes, bread making is rather fun, even when it flops...?

When I planted the tree I had no idea what I'd gotten myself into. It was just a little tiny thing. I was thinking it was an ornamental Crab apple tree but noooo.... it's a real crab apple tree. And I can almost taste the jelly it will make. Sweet and sour at the same time and probably better than a regular apple. You don't have to use pectin because they have enough themselves. I can't wait. And I've seen a stir fry recipe with apples too ? you can use the flops for pizza dough??
