The Christmas tree is up. Same tree that I got in a charity auction many years ago. With various added small ornaments that were given to me, some made by my children and grandchildren. New lights this year. The old ones died.

Me and my F-150. I’m on a 3.5 week camping trip that I planned long before No Kings Day was planned. When I realized that I would miss all the No Kings Day fun, I got the t-shirt for a rally of 1 at the campground.

Some of the newer orange varieties are so sweet that they taste like they have sugar on them. A medium sized variety called Vivacious, for example, is quite sweet and prolific producer, even here in the Pacific NW. It’s bright orange when fully ripe.
