Aw, I know it is rough for you. I really pushed myself lately, trying to get everything done before his surgeries. I'm feeling exhausted, both in body and mentally, but have to get it all done!

Thanks, Denisse. Hubby loves it on his pancakes.

What a wonderful group of family and friends to help you press all those apples. I can imagine how wonderful the house smelled while processing all of them.

Hahaha, exactly. I made the mistake of putting morning glory vines on my trellises; that was a huge mistake. We can't get rid of them, and it was probably 15 years ago, lol.

This is the first time I've grown the purple sweet potato, and I love them!

It is beautiful! I love the white; it almost has a bluish tint. I bet it will grow very quickly and give you tons of gorgeous blooms.

Welcome to the community. Nice to have you here @martunis06.

Thank you, @brumest. I appreciate your support as always. Have a wonderful week.

Good for you! Having them at a nice height sure makes life easier at our ages. Gardening can put a hurtin on the lower back, lol.

Thanks, Kellyanne. The kitchen smells so good with all those apples cooking. I can't wait to eat some of that applesauce.

What a fabulous find! It sure must make the job easier once you're all set and ready to go. I've never made vinegar; I may have to check that one out, lol.

Wow, what a great apple harvest. Boy, are you going to be busy for a while.

Thanks, Pam. We like the applesauce on the chunky side. I only eat a little because that is hubby's fav. I still have a peck bag left to cut up for the freezer. Perhaps today.

Dang! There should be a refund. I hope they figure it out asap. That is so not right of your energy program.

@ewkaw, thank you for your support. Have a great weekend.

I sure hope you get that energy problem sorted out and get a nice refund. Larry looks quite content, lol.

That is a lot of apples! Nice that you can pick them off the ground; I'm sure they are much cheaper that way. They should make some good cider and applesauce.

Trying to understand energy usage is confusing to me. I hope you get it all figured out. Love the apple storage bins; that is so cool that you have a root cellar. I got apples at the apple farm. Now, to

Yes, it sure did. Dad wanted to be placed there, so we honored his wishes. It was beautiful to see his ashes flowing down the stream. We tossed wildflowers along with him, and it was so peaceful and beautiful

Got my first bushel of apples yesterday. Now you got me thinking about apple butter. My husband would love that😍
