Prairie magics are ready??? I shall chexk mine tomorrow! I have a nice batch of apples for the wife i picked today. Tomorrow she is making apple crisps to pass around. I have a prairie magic in my yard. It has three gorgeous apples on it. I pulled the other 37 off this spring so it didn’t snap the limbs. I’m afraid to pull one to try it yet. My Prairie Magic has been about 85 % harvested. It is hard to reach the remaining fruit. Zestar is near the same.

I have zero Dolgos this year. My oldest tree(probably 30 plus years) is resting. I imagine it will have fruit next year. I do practically no pruning on that tree. I was up early and cooked three more kettles of dolgo for juice. I am a cheapskate and can cook them early without the AC on. I have lots of Whitney crabs, but doubt we will use any.

Picked 7 dozen ears of sweet corn at my cousins today. They have 4 acres. Its crazy.
We kept 6 ears and gave the rest to friends.
Next weekend, getting 10 dozen minimum.
We picked 7 dozen in 10 minutes today. every stalk has a good ear and a smaller ear. Just grab the larger one and walk down the rows.

I might need to grill some venison again.

We made Trailman and Dolgo applesauce today and my wife also made some Dolgo jelly. I'll DM my mailing address Art, then I'll mail back a score card.

I know nobody is close by, but I have lots of Hazen, Whitney Crabs, and Trailman crabs hanging on the tree if they want to stop by.

^ My wife has me spoiled. I have watermelon chunks, cantelope, grapes and toast (or a waffle or a pancake) every morning for breakfast. Something about watermelon for breakfast does not seem right......but it's soooo good. We do eat allot of fruit these days. The saying goes: "Life is short......better eat your cake first".

I don’t know, foggy, gotta agree that watermelon for breakfast doesn’t seem right. Oatmeal(uncooked), walnuts, some sort of fruit, and then Aldi’s generic cheerios on top. Plus some stevia. That usually doesn’t last 8 hours until lunch. For me, watermelon does seem right very often.

I try to stay with farm fresh eggs.... very low carbs. I am type 1 diabetic. I miss my sausage mcmuffins. Morning blood sugars get very high overnight. Its called the "dawn phenomenon". Your body knows you will be waking up and needs energy, so the liver starts kicking out glucose.... EVERY single morning about 5 to 6 am my alarm is going off, because I have gone above 220 on my blood sugars..... sucks. I hate early morning wake ups. Go take insulin and go back to bed! sausage, bacon, eggs is pretty much what I can do within reason. Breads are evil, and yet so good. Fruit isnt the devil but has natural sugars.

Until I was retired for a few years....I NEVER ate breakfast. Would sip coffee until noon....and can't say I was ever hungry. Sometimes lunch would not happen until 2 PM or so....and still could function fine without if need be. I drank allot of coffee and was accomplishing as much as possible in the mornings. Later I scaled back on the coffee and would quit at noon. Now?....not so much. I still like a couple of cups of coffee in the morning....and really enjoy time at my computer and a leisurely "lite" breakfast. Never eggs or sausage and hash browns and such....unless we go out to eat in the late mornings. Then it becomes "brunch".
