Those darn squirrels ate almost all of my persimmons. Not that the tree was loaded but I managed to get about 3-4. Luckily a friend has a mature tree that some years produces a lot. So far he's brought me a bag full. Need to bug him to bring me some. The season is not that long and I'm...

How do you harvest it? Do you gently pull out a rib or two to keep it going? Mary

Steve, do you get Baker Creek's catalog? Got mine a week ago. Mary

Not knot related but just wanted to say that my son and husband went crabbing and caught 5 crabs, 3 dungeness and 2 rock crabs. Never tasted fresh caught crab like that before and it was delicious! No knots needed, haha. Mary

Steve, I haven't been able to log in to this site. It kept bouncing me to their sister site on Herds for almost 2 weeks! Today it worked so just seeing your post on Bulletproof coffee. I thought bulletproof coffee was the recipe or type when you added butter to it. Will have to check...

Flowerbug, I love sweets! Just saw a fund raiser for See's candy Nuts and Chews which are my favorite for $29 one pound box. So tempted. But then again the #2 box is $48 such a deal! haha. All for a good cause. Mary

For those who wait. I'm not waiting! Mary

Do you know how much work that would be every morning when all I want is my cup of coffee quick? lol Mary

Well I really don't like the taste of the coffee I've been drinking but it does camofloge the taste of the unflavored collagen. I've decided that I like coffee with chocolate and nuts overtones. Now to find one with those overtones will be a challegen. There are so many coffee companies out...
