What's the Best Thing that Happened to You in the Last 24 Hours?

I found out that the plastic lids from Folger's Instant coffee fit the old wide-mouth Skippy peanut butter jars---the ones that have the 2 cup measurements embossed in the glass. They had steel lids that rusted. The wide mouth makes them good for storage. Peeled onions come to mind.

It was a slow day.

After spending a great deal of time on the phone trying to get something straightened out, the woman on the other end said, "OK, I'll pass it along to be processed. You don't have to mail in another form."

Nancy, that is always the very best kind of news , and I am happy for you ! Not having to fill out any more forms is awesome, and even better that they are taking care of what needs to be done.

My Dwarf Red Rome apple start arrived last night, and this morning, Bobby and I went out and planted it in the back yard, so that I my good news for the day. We have another apple tree, but it has never produced a single apple. Apparently, it needed a pollinator, becasue it said that the Rome apple needs one, so now that we have two apple trees, maybe they will pollinate and we can have fresh apples.

Cool! I love to plant trees. Or any perennials.

Is a "start" a more mature tree than a seedling? How big is your new apple tree? How old is the other one?

I've been looking for a sassafras for years. I think the goats demolished most of them. Maybe some will appear now.
