AT Tahoe Lake

The altitude is 8000' and I am experiencing altitude sickness weak and short of breath.  It is so beautiful I want to go hiking so bad but all I can do is walk ever so slowly.  I did go to the casino walked in the door sat down at the first penny machine played a ten for a hour in a half got  up to
$ 53.00 and finally back down  to 2 cents, so I took  my 2 cents moved to another machine and won .30 so I played it all and walked back to the condo with $49.61 not bad for two hours work.

Other than my not feeling good and you look beyond the crowds Tahoe brings back so many happy memories my parents had a home up here for a couple of years I guess you say "back in the day" it was not so crowded  and the building in every inch of land of so many motels and shops had not happened it was not the same.  The air is crisp and the feel of the place is the same I have heard the wind moving through the sugar pines, it is just a magical place.  I imagine what it must have been like when only the Indians and animal lived here, oh it is just awesome.  The salmon are running at the mouth of the Truckee river that feeds into the lake and the bears are seen all the time  there was one walking around the pool area this morning I just missed him, dang I would have loved to see him  of course I would not have had my camera.  Another high point of the trip we went to Carson City they have a wonderful museum we spent the morning there, the history of this country is all tied up with gold and silver even today the Comstock mine is working day and night driving to Virginia City is like a drive in Logging county the trucks make the roads so dangerous.
Well we are off to a walk in the woods and I have my camera.

Sometimes there just is not anything to say but WOW

The weather has been great, but I fear our flora and fona needs water our ground here on the hill is very porous we do not get mud puddles or standing water, that is unless the Shoomchuck River floods then the field fills and we have a nice duck pond for a few days, other wise any rain water is quickly absorbed so surface water for our trees and shrubs depends on the rain.  I am sure the rains will come but isn't lovely all this warn sunshine.  Our plums are ready and today I made plum butter which seems like syrup so maybe I made plum syrup I seasoned it with lavender, it gives a interesting flavor to my butter/syrup.

Jerry has been busy making little tables for our neighbor's daughters who are getting married they were just little girls when they moved in; three beauties they became and the traffic on our drive increased when the boys were old enough to drive, now that they have grown and are on their own our old road is slowly returning to pre-Hemley girls traffic. 
I have been sitting here watching the moon set  casting it's glow across the water and it looked like this picture I took earlier this week of a hazy sunset.  I also made a couple more prayer flags they are fun to make simple little futzes but fun.  My current project is putting the exchange Christmas blocks together, it is beginning to take shape turns out to be bigger than the throw I had envisioned I ended up with twenty 12 1/2 in blocks by the time I get the sash on it will be a twin. 
                           It is five AM I tried to go to sleep but could not  so I got up I can not see laying there awake and doing nothing so hopefully I will get sleepy soon and can get some sleep.

Apples & google what a life

I have changed my google account password daily for about a week, I do not know what is wrong or how to fix it...At the moment I believe it is fixed but my gut says next time I log in I will have trouble again,.  Anyone else having trouble???Wow I refuse to pass it off to my age, but I am beginning to suspect something mysterious is sabotaging  my brain what ever it is it is nice to be back on my blog.

These warm sunny days are wonderful I worry about me trees, are they getting enough water etc etc so each day I am out there making sure each one has a bit,,,The apple trees are heavy with fruit,.  We have already made apple sauce,four pies and four packages of apples ready to make pie.  This is our first attempt at freezing the apples all cut and ready for pie.  I hope they work, well even soft apples make good pie right?  Now I have my apples picked for apple butter, I am also going to attempt Plum butter with maybe a little lavender as spice sounds good to me Jerry is a bit pensive and wrinkles his noise but we will try it anyway...We will be canning for some time now as the apple trees do not all drop at the same time, our winter hard apples will not be ready for at least a month they are the last to drop....As for the pears there just is not enough to can last year was a bumper crop but not this year.  The plums are so heavy on the tree that I am worried about the branches breaking, Jerry has put some poles up but the tree is so heavy it is impossible to do them all.
Now the freezer is getting very full Jerry has also picked about 3 gallons of black berries for syrup I am hoping to get a pie out of the deal but for now it is syrup first. pie later.   It sure is nice to have a helper in the kitchen at canning time it has it's draw backs also--Jerry is a big guy and when he is at the sink there is no room for me it is a true test of our wills to work together it just is not in our make up to work together I guess love is a big factor in our getting along, without it well it would not be pretty. 
Hey you all how about a comment once in awhile I just love them.

Our Art group is thriving, this month we did Prayer Flags -- That's Tibetan Prayer Flags our gathering was very interesting besides the prayer flags we got to share and support each other,  it is a good group with many strong wonderful ladies in it.  It is wonderful to be a part of a group of people of like mind, well not in everything but we come together to be a group of ideas and working together, learning  together. As time passes we will pull together as friends and we will share our life walk.
