Tom,

So where do you live anyway? Here in Maine we are having an old fashioned winter, cold and windy with plenty of snow. If it keeps up like this I predict a white Christmas. Then the weather will probably change around mid-January and it'll warm up and we'll get rain. Almost always do.

My favorite apple for eating out of hand is the Chestnut. Small but ever so satifying. Not a keeper though. Right now we've got several bushels of Liberty in the cellar and some Spigold and Keepsake. We just finished all the Macs. What a fine apple is McIntosh! They were so tart a while back but they just got sweeter and sweeter in the cellar till each apple was an olfactory nirvana. Needless to say we polished off that bushel pretty quick.

compare it to the better apples in colder and more miserable areas.

Hi,

Hey! Hey! Hey! Who's miserable?

As the glaciers receded, along their march northward, they left the best soil in upper north
America. We can grow anything with it!

Now, North Carolina's red clay soil, that is miserable. Just standing next to a dirt road you
will accumulate stains in your clothes that are never coming out. (smile)

My sister lived in NC for a while, and I have never seen soil like it, or so much of it.

I like my brand of miserable. (smile)

Later,
Tom
