Woman in the Middle | March 27, 2017Navel orange trees are shaped so that they are pretty free of branches from the bottom to about seven feet in height. You can duck down under the branches and then stand up under the tree. We needed to get the rest of the oranges off the tree, so I ducked under to get inside and reach more oranges. The tree was in full bloom and as I plucked off oranges heavenly smelling orange blossoms were raining down on me. I really can’t think of many things as delightful as that.
I have a spot on a wall next to my computer that would be perfect for a huge bulletin board. I have a need for someplace to organize things and I was thinking a bulletin board might be just the thing. Here is the problem, though. I am worried that stuff will be put on the board and then never be taken off. So I was reluctant to spend good money on a bulletin board and then not use it. However I went in a thrift store this week and they were having a 90% off yellow tag sale. They had a bulletin board and it had a yellow tag! It was a little beat up, but I got it for 48 cents. At that price, I can experiment, see if it works for me and, if it doesn’t, I can just re-donate it. Thrift store score!
Slowly but surely, we are getting the weed situation under control after all of our winter rain. The back back was buzzed by our lawn guy. Much or the property at Mom in law’s house was buzzed by Hubby tie weekend. I have been going around our yard and pinching or pulling the weeds that managed to make it through the mulch. We won’t let the weeds win! LOL!
I didn’t know that about the Navel orange trees but now I do, my parents have a notice board in their kitchen and stuff often stays on it for so bloody long after the event has passed.
I hate old news, so THAT wouldn’t be a problem for me – I’d be taking it down as soon as it was over!
