    I bought myself a cute notebook to put my to-do lists in. I’m currently using a 8.5 x 11 notepad on my desk, let’s see if this is more or less annoying.

      I put a to-do list on my phone’s home screen so I won’t ignore it. Yeah I ignore it.

    I made apple pie from “scratch” (never sure how far i need to go for it to “from scratch” for me) for the first time. Bobs Red Mill pie gluten free pie crust. Granny smiths from my tree, with brown sugar, a little corn starch, and some mulled elderberry wine. Simmered the all of the not curst in a pan, then stored in a fridge for a week, and did it again just baking it (even after cooling it the first time it wasn’t thick enough too me).

    Ive been so happy on how its turned out, but the whole time i really felt like i was just pretending to cook (becaue i had never done it before). The motivation of (all of these apples are going to rot unless i hurry up and do something with them) really motivated me lol

      That sounds delicious. I think the squirrels managed to eat all of our apples, but our trees are still young and not growing much fruit yet.

        They take a bit. One trick too is that you actually want to prune some of the fruit before they really grow otherwise they will put all.of there stored energy and make some wasted fruit (too small, fall off too early, etc) and wont have as much the next year.

        Not exactly an expert but i try to pick up advice when i can. Straight line winds actually blew mine to about 30° angle a few years back but they are still hanging on after years of pruneing.
