Uva Uvam Vivendo Varia Fit

It's Latin, it means "the changing vine becomes the living vine." It's from a scene in LONESOME DOVE a popular 1989 miniseries. It reminds us of an important truth. Changes are going to come whether we want them or not. Some can be especially difficult. That's when we have to adapt and do the best we can or it will eat us alive. I love this show and I appreciate the life lesson reminder.

My Brother Peaches Are Tasty

I was watching my brother Greg's dogs for a few days while he was motorcycle racing in Idaho. It's pretty hard to miss his little peach tree. It's small but packed with fruit. I see he has some netting around the tree (see lower left). I guess it keeps birds and neighbors from helping themselves to the fruit. I've never seen a tree with so much fruit on it. This fruit is so tasty. If you don't have a brother with a peach tree visit one of these Farmer's Markets or go to Brentwood and pick your own fresh peaches. Delicious.

Farmers' Markets Open at 9:00 AM for seniors.
