Long time, no write. Itβs very difficult for me to get around, so I have not kept up the past few years.
We still have our Meyer lemon, grapefruit and lime sales every winter, so nothing has changed there other than C having to do all the labor.
We have three remaining chickens from our flock of seven; predation and natural causes took the others. One of our girls is one of the originals, who is now 6 or 7 years oldβ¦and she has given us two beautiful green eggs the past week! She ought be well beyond laying in her seniorhood, but she disagrees.
We wonβt be getting more after these gals pass on - long term plan is to eventually move, and the fewer animals to add into that chaos, the better.
All our fruit trees are in full bloom - the lime, peach, nectarine, cherries, apricots, lemon. Come June, we will be planting two figs and a second nectarine. I want this place to be fully rounded out with fruit and nuts, by the time we go. Something for everyone.
C always takes better pix than I do, so he can add on as he likes.
