Thanksgiving 2015

The kids were home for Thanksgiving, along with Bob and Sharon.  We took a couple of hours and got the greenhouse tucked in.  Lychee should have gotten the necessary chill hours over the past 2-3 weeks.  Citrus is ripening.  We've got a handful each of calamondin, Meyer lemon, and kumquats.  


The grapefruit are the size of olives.  And the chocolate pudding fruit (Diospyros nigra) is the size of a tennis ball yet hard as a rock and split.


In an hour we got the insulation up.  In a second hour we chased the calves out the the yard and repaired the fence. That was the extent of the work done over the weekend.

Adam has become a photographer, and the good pictures are almost certainly his.


We didn't stray far from the standard fare...turkey, stuffing, strawberry jello, seven-layer salad.


We made as much wine as we drank and we sent Sharon home with another dozen bottles, different varieties and styles.
