The people parked next to me went to Alaska last summer.  He had his tow 
vehicle checked out and any work needed completed, added an extra fuel 
tank, had the Airstream checked out and still had problems with cracked 
lights, cracked panels, tires, getting stuck.

Well, it is time for bareroot things and we have prepared the acre that is 
the southeast corner of the proper between the house and the road for more 
fruit trees.

So off we went because a local nursery was having a buy 3, get one free 
sale.  Youngest wanted an apricot, so she got two (the one she really wanted 
needed a pollinator to get lots of fruit).  DH wanted to try almonds and 
wanted plums, so he bought 4.  I wanted cherries and bought two and one 
apple, an Anna, that is supposed to like the Gravensteins DH planted last 
year.

Tomorrow, we are going back to another nursery and get two more apple trees 
and maybe another couple of pears.

Friday we are going down to a spot next to the creek and hauling more mulch 
up and setting up an area for blueberries and to finish mulching around the 
inside of the garden fence to use when we split the raspberries.

Youngest's textile leader from 4-H called to say she might have a litter of 
kittens here in about a month and wanted to know if we'd take them.  That 
was a definite YES!  We figure they will take care of the ground squirrel 
problem and there will be an added benefit.  Seems the local deer population 
is terrified of cats.
