This is a huge apple tree in someone's side yard. I couldn't get a picture of all of it because it was too backlit by the sun. You can see there are a lot of apples, the tree is just loaded.
There are many on the ground. I'm surprised the woodland creatures are not eating them. Actually, although there are many deer in Bellevue, we don't see any in Issaquah. They're probably afraid of the lunatic drivers here.
The Darigold milk facility. They repainted a year or two ago, they still look good.
Today we woke up to this. It has been raining all day. It was supposed to taper off early afternoon, but that's not happening. Fortunately we got the grilling of the pork tenderloin done last night.
The phone's weather forecast. It tickles me when it uses "dreary."
We watched Pompeo on one of the Sunday talk shows. He actually sat there and accused Joe Biden of interfering in the 2016 election with the help of Ukraine and demanded that Biden be investigated for this. This is how the corrupt administration is going to try to jump out from the president pressuring Ukraine to "investigate" corruption on the part of the Bidens. Later Mnuchin said that turning over the whistle blower complaint, as is required by law, would set a "terrible precedent." These people truly have no shame.
One of the (many) things that's making me nuts is the fact the Democrats are being defeated by these people who have no respect for the rule of law. As I frequently say to Jim, they need to charge these people with contempt and put them in jail. I wonder if there's a holding cell within the capitol building.
The following is a note to future me, because I can't remember much of anything these days. We replaced the shower door sweep yesterday. After doing that, it wouldn't close anymore. The reason was that I left the hinge end of the sweep too long. It must be cut so that there is a gap between the end of the sweep and the hinge. Please make a note of this.
Cut both ends until it's neither too long nor too short. Make a note of this.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if those R's are sweating it in private.
Nah, I don't think so.
I understand the weather isn't going to get better. It's supposed to be epic this year. That's a lot of apples going to waste. What's the saying? When you have apples make applesauce? Or maybe it's when you have lemons make lemonade. Oh well ... it's still cooler there than in Tucson!!
ReplyDeleteWe had old fruit trees at the farm and when they'd drop all their apples the deer would come around. Mostly the bees feasted though. Our dogs loved to have at those apples also and we treated more than a few bee stings as a result! Sorry the weather is so dreary....my mother used to call those days "dunkel". Time to get out of town!
ReplyDeleteholding a criminal president accountable is 'setting a terrible precedent'? this whole administration is just incredibly corrupt and the entire Republican party is enabling it.
ReplyDeleteThe thing that frightens me - the people I feel are well educated, well read that support trump and are convinced all the news and evidence against him and his administration is nothing but lies. I've never had apple trees but we did have orange trees in AZ. No real wildlife but lots of bees, bugs, and birds.

ReplyDeleteYesss!!! Ted Lieu's tweet is right on point.
