I'm planting them. They just deliver. Supposed to be fruit bearing the same year as planting.
Stop in for a cup of coffee

Just doing what I do
I have lost my father by degrees. 6 years ago, he had a stroke that was very localized and took out his ability to speak, but every thing else was unaffected. I could communicate with him for about a year after that before the Alzheimer’s progressed too far to make it possible.
2 years later, and he only recognized me about half the time. 2 years after that and it was only about 25% of the time. We have faithfully continued his care and moved him to the best facilities as his condition progressed. 3 months ago, he had no idea who I am...only barely acknowledging my presence.
Now, it’s not even that.
6 years of watching the man disappear like an ever fading photograph that I am powerless to stop.
To lose him is hard enough...to have him taken from me and my family one degree at a time over 6 years is just cruel.
I only hope he eventually finds peace without pain along the way.

Today would have been my father's 89th birthday. He knew he had only a short time left as did I and he laid out his wishes the last time I visited. We had a Miller Lite together and he told me not to visit again, we lived 400 miles apart. I worked on his Edsel that trip 
so he could drive it a few more times before he passed. "I want my ashes spread on the Colorado River, but don't put me in the lake (Lake Mohave). It's too f@#$in' cold."
