Tell me something positive going on in your lives.

Me - Friday was jonbaker's birthday, so we're going to have lambchops, noodles and green beans (his favorite) for dinner tonight, after spending an afternoon exchanging his birthday presents and seeing his brother (okay, his niece.)

I put up 228 quarts of homemade applesauce and apple butter this year. My tree produced over 60 quarts of whole apples (five 12-quart stockpots full). There would have been more, but I ran out of time - the other morning I looked out the window and there were about 500 little black birds (of a breed I've never seen before) sitting in the tree eating merrily.

I'm actually happy the birds got something to eat, since I have enough applesauce and butter for the next few years plus gifts. Let's hope it keeps them strong for the flight south.

I think that should be 28, if my calculator is right.

blinks and looks at comment below. Yeah, that makes more sense.

I love homemade applesauce. I was watching my sister-in-law make some yesterday.

I think you're right. Take what you need but leave the rest to nature. It's a lovely image.
