Observations

Crab apple in bloom

Crab apple in bloom

One of my favorite [make believe] songs is, When it’s apple blossom time in Michigan, we’ll make a peach of a pair.  I enjoy “singing” the words for Sylvia.  She laughs when I do, and to me there is no sweeter sound in all the world than her laughter.

Conditions have been incredibly good for growing grass this year.  Which probably explains why I was unable to mow the lawn for two weeks.  People were beginning to wonder why there wasn’t a FOR SALE sign in front of our place.  It’s nearly time to mow again.  Please excuse my lack of enthusiasm.

The garden is in and the old folk are tired.  Well, it is almost in.  A few items need to be taken care of, but it will be okay.

About Chuck

I am retired after a career in electronics and in publishing. Today, my wife of 50+ years, Sylvia, and I live in a house on a hill beside a dirt road in rural west Michigan. We enjoy living in this country environment where livestock and wild life out number the human population.

  1. I started singing, ‘Don’t sit under the apple tree, with anyone else but me.’ That’s not made up though, and believe me no one laughs when I sing, hahaha

    Glad your garden’s in for the most part. I remember last year you got some real beauties out of it!

    • If you sang that, you may haven given away your age. :laff: So, I think that means you’re at least 25 or maybe even 30.

      We had a fantastic garden last year. We’ll see what happens this year. 😎

      • If you know the song, you’re giving away your age too! :haha: :haha:

        My first concert was The Glenn Miller Band Orchestra (saw it with my gram). :dance:

          • I checked for grins to see if they’re touring Michigan this year, and they are!!! I don’t recognize the names though, of any of the cities they’ll be in.

            They’re before my time too, but I still love them. And for the record, I’ll be 44 in a little over a week. :clap:

  2. Such a busy time of year, isn’t it? So much to do out in the yard. Boy, when it wakes up…it WAKES up!! Maybe you need a cow? or some goats to help with the lawn. 😉

    You and Sylvia are adorable together.

    • I do have critters that help. Unfortunately, the deer, groundhogs and rabbits don’t do a good enough job of keeping the lawn tamed. :no:

      You need to add “Sylvia” or “not” to include me and “adorable” in the same sentence. :laff:

  3. Very nice. Our crabapple already has little bitty apples set. What a difference a few miles (latitude) make.

    • Yes, they are. But they are too quickly gone. Seems to be that some types of beauty are like that while others have a more enduring (an in some cases more endearing) quality.
