Friday night

The Brownie Korbels came down and we had a nice visit. Acacia was catching a little cat nap, but she woke up and then we really had some fun. Mikie brought a watermellon but we were too tired to eat it, so we will have it tomorrow. Plans for the Xmas party were discussed, and it looks like it is going to be quite an affair. I have it planned, but not completed, my gift. Acacia has a great one that will be vied for, I am sure. We went to get a haircut, but the shop was filled to the brim, so we said that we ould come tomorrow morning--we will see. I pruned my fuji apple that is next to the orange. I took off a fewer limbs, so should have more apples next fall. Mike has been buying apples in Watsonville from the farmers. She brought me 40 pounds, so have been peeling and making applesauce.(repeat--sorry_) I shared my Xmas list with Mikie for the ones that she has lost. I took a great portrait of Acacia at the same time that our picture was taken by her for the Xmas letter. My little Cannon Elf 750 is turning out to be quite a picgture machine. I collected 5 gallons of water from the last rain, and poured it on my raspberries. This was poured on top of the chicken compose that was s pread first, so that ought to make them spring from the ground. Catch you tomorrow.
