Money saving tip

Your neighbors who have fruit or nut trees, but don't know what to do with them, may just let you take a few bushels of walnuts, apples, or other produce for free simply to get it off the yard....and yes, yum.  I guess you can be a farmer without actually owning or renting any land. 

Alternatively, you could say "we are such a wealthy country that people actually cannot be bothered to pick the fruit that grows on their own trees."  Yes, the Obama economy is pretty bad, but someone with a bit of creativity and a will to work can do pretty well these days.

Baby update; little one still inside, scheduled C section (not that bad, y'all!) at noon tomorrow.

In Florida, people leave baskets or boxes of oranges, lemons and grapefruit outside their houses with signs on them, "FREE." So in the fall, if you pay for any of those fruits, you're not looking hard enough for the free stuff.

C-section. Shudder. You'll all be on my mind and in my prayers tomorrow. I LOVE babies!

Yeah, I want to know about the baby! Plus I want to know any wisdom you might have about opening walnuts. The church secretary has a walnut tree, but throws them all away because she and her husband could never figure out how to get them open. They tried vices and the whole shebang.

i googled bubba's new baby and got nothing.
