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.
