We can make Christmas happen every day!<\/p><\/div>\n

No walking today… Gotta work in the garden!\u00a0 So Paul started and finished the tree garden today.\u00a0 The Nectarine, Apple, Avocado, and both Figs are looking great.\u00a0 They got new straw mulch and got feed some goodies from the nursery.\u00a0 It’s nice to be able to working the office and see the trees working hard to produce fruit for our table!<\/p>\n

Watchem grow!<\/p><\/div>\n

Other good news of the day… Our first < $100 electric bill EVER!\u00a0 Paul has been battling electricity consumption for over a year now and by turning things off and watching carefully the bill has dropped 66% in winter!\u00a0 We saved over $200 from last year!\u00a0 Excited? Indeed!\u00a0 Hey, it adds up!\u00a0 I always remember ,” I’m currently boycotting any company that sells items I can’t afford.\u00a0”<\/p>\n

The good news<\/p><\/div>\n

So we got several Christmas presents today… safety goggles (for using the bench grinder), four rechargeable C-cells (Paul hates to drags the radio around the backyard looking for AC outlets), and a new supply of MRE’s… enough for a week for the two of us.<\/p>\n

Speaking of MRE’s, Each meal provides about 1200\u00a0Calories<\/a> (5020.8\u00a0kJ). They are intended to be eaten for a maximum of 21 days (the assumption is that logistics units can provide fresh food rations by then), and have a minimum shelf life of three years (depending on storage conditions).<\/p>\n

The meals are pretty good!<\/p><\/div>\n

Paul spent some time measuring for a small (8×12) storage shed needed to get the garage emptied! Of course, we will have to move the pool pump and heater about 24 inches to the north in order to fit the shed in but alas… it must be done!<\/p>\n

Around 6:00 PM Paul called it a day!\u00a0 Time to come in from playing in the yard!\u00a0 We watched TV and two movies before the evening was done… Love those Hallmark mysteries!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
