Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. THY WILL BE DONE, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but DELIVER US FROM EVIL.
For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen †

I spent most of the day picking apples. The orchard owner just let them go to anyone who wants but not to re-sell or sell.
I have to wonder if this is a big Ag contract type problem. I know if the orchard is under contract they can’t sell you even a handful of apples. Perhaps the owner was paid to let them rot. Church groups and folks are picking for the local food banks and so on but there are tons of the prettiest and largest apples you ever saw.
There will be a lot of waste. Only the bears will be happy because judging by the sign they are putting on the pounds for winter!
(Of course this answers the age old question…….yes on the woods and yes on the orchard for bears……lol Gotta wonder if they get stomach ache from eating all those apples!)
Let the bears take the apples…we gots a chocolate cake to go after! Unless Yogi and Booboo beat us to it?
Hi Monticello,
Sounds like pressure cooking some righteous applesauce is in order. Love home canned applesauce. An old friend of mine lived in the woods in Running Springs, California up by Lake Arrowhead. Had a bear come by and eat his Crabapples. Apparently the fermented ones can make them a little tipsy like alcohol and Mr. Bear had his due and took a nice long siesta in his front lawn.
Now that’s funny right there! Yogi bear.
Yes, looking up recipes for Apple pie filling and apple sauce right now.
My grandmother used to make the best apple pies and fried apple pies ever.
She almost always cooked her apples down to the caramelizing stage, (there were no slices left).
pies are a real talent….
my “birthday cake” was always an apple 🍎 pie that my mother would make for me..since thats what i requested 😉
and with the leftover pie dough from trimming the edges, she would roll it out again, put butter, sprinkle sugar and cinnamon all over, roll it up and cut into pinwheels and bake.
l o v e d. those.
The apples trees in the back field were done about 2weeks ago here in central Indiana. To buy a gallon of cider at the grocery store one would think that apples have gold in them. I wonder why?
Sleep Well with Psalms. Psalm 91, Psalm 121, Psalm 3, Psalm 4, Psalm 139.
Pray Everyday

All this talk – has me thinking a lot about the draft. I have been doing a lot of praying – as we all have – I am sure.
Whose war this is. Whose it’s not. Who is fit to lead. Who is not fit to be a leader to find themselves out of a wet paper bag.
Swearing allegiance to our Constitution and our God-Given rights. The preservation of our Republic.
How those in charge may or may not revere the Constitution or bodily autonomy the same way we do and would likely be rather reckless.
How the department of education has such a stranglehold and desire to usurp parental rights.
Such weighty thoughts.
Maybe such discussions during a thoughtful retreat far away from the demands of work, electronic devices, phones, and “noise”? Heartfelt and sacred discussions around a camp fire.
So important to always be prepared for anything. Anything.
Love and prayers to you all for your safekeeping. Let not your hearts be troubled.
We are called to be Matthew 10:16.
Jeremiah 29:11 – learn it by heart and hang onto it and yield to His Authority, Perfect Timing, and Purpose. He Is so very good to us and loves us with an everlasting love.
I’m a retired vet and I would never, after second Obama term, recommend the military to today’s youth. Before it was a great way to give direction, organization skills and discipline to youth that needed it.
IMHO and it hurts to have to not recommend.
I understand what you mean, Monticello. All the great and honorable professions have been ripped apart. Now, more than ever, it is most important to be mechanically inclined and taught in the more rudimentary features of back woods living.
As usual, well said ‘Woo. What I’m watching is news our of Mine. 20+ people dead 50 or more shot shot. Who was this guy? The nightmare is that he’s a:”got-away ” trained terrorist who is here to do exactly what we’re seeing—killing and wounding innocent Americans. Arm yourselves and stay safe.
Or he is a plant inspiring gun control debate? Why don’t they just grab a big old roll of duct tape and tape us to the floors? Don’t have to be all that smart to see that our open border is a purposeful invasion. I’d love to say “2A” but they’ve ignored every part of our Constitution.

Facts Matter with Roman Balmakov
On September 13th Ukraine overwhelmed the vaunted Russian air defense Pantsir-S1 by firing 10 cruise missiles plus unmanned boats at the Crimean naval base. Three missiles got through to hit target and did considerable damaged to a submarine and the base.
On October 7th Hamas seems to have taken this knowledge and overwhelmed the vaunted Iron Dome defense of Israel.
My conclusion is America has sent two Carrier strike forces into Mideast waters not to protect Israel when they attack Gaza but rather to protect Israel from the coming invasion since the Muslim world now knows that Israel’s air defenses can be defeated and the army can be overrun by Jihadi’s who are proud to die for Allah and the destruction of Israel
Luke21:20
And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
