As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I wanted to thank the few who have donated. It was kind and generous of you, in your poverty and in your illnesses. Your offers of places to stay are Christian and I pray God blesses each of you for your kindness to me.
I was thinking about in this tea talk or coffee chat about something Kim said in a note. Kim lives in the Garden of Eden in the same country that the beekeeper does. The beekeeper said he had like 100 apple trees and assorted things which to me is like the treasure at the end of the rainbow.
I grew up in an area which was horrid as I never knew if my plantings were going to be froze out, scorched out, dried out, flooded out, or blown out of the ground, or some satanic herd of cattle or rabbits was going to show up. More times than not the weeds germinated to a carpet before my plants did.
It required skill which I thank God for as it is survival lessons which are vital for what is ahead, but it is a distant dream of mine to now what it is like to plant things in the ground and to watch them grow and produce something, which is what most of the world really is like, except for where I was produced.
I think of things like a noted seed producer has this farm and if I lived close I would beg to just hoe an acre as my donation to the project, just so I could be around thousands of varieties of plants to see what they are like.
Apple are an example in the production varieties are even different from each other in leaf, bark, branch and fruit which is at sometimes subtle, but there is something unique about each, and I am currently freezing and saving some apple seeds from Honeycrisp to see if they will sprout.
God gave me two apple seeds He sprouted on his own a few years ago and they are pretty good apples in one is out of my Grandpa's MacIntosh (I dislike those mealy things) and one is out of a Chestnut crab apple (which is more like a minature apple.
They are September apples in early and late September and the one will hold apples all through the winter. I hope to graft them before they are lost, as the thing about Johnny Apple Seed is that numbers of seeds will not produce any fruit at all and the remainder are these things you can not eat.
That is what is special about these two as they are apples which surpass most apples in production.
I figure that in saving everything I can save for money in donations, that with an immense financial collapse, some nuclear warfare culling a hundred million or two, and people just abandoning places for my good looks, then I should be able to afford a place after that.
I always thought it would be Eden to grow peaches too. I ate a peach off my Aunt's tree in California once. You can not believe how good peaches really are if ripened on a tree.
I hope to grow things after Jesus comes back. I do well with melons now and am quite thankful for that blessing from God.
What this was all about was what Kim mentioned in she gardens and then invites people to come over and pick things, but most people will not even show up. I surmise that people are so mindwarped now on one hand that they are phobic of any person alive in thinking they will be locked in some closet or are just too stupid to know what to do with anything not from a grocery display.
I at times would love to have someone let me load up from their garden, but most people do not garden that I can see from my vantage point. It does make me consider just how ignorant and phobic people are. It is like the Indians who would not eat wheat, because it was not rice.
I conclude that numbers of Americans would starve because they would not know what to do with wheat in grain form, or kill the cow for a steak, when the cow if they knew how to milk it would feed them 9 months daily.
It just all strikes me as odd in how shiftless people have become.
They can see what is coming. Should be laying in a 7 year supply of what they need for their families, but it is all either pizza delivery welfare or those who think that electronic money is somehow going to not disappear when the lights go out.
I honestly can see this in someone telling a grocery, "Well behind that blank credit card screen I have a million dollars. You can trust me on this."
I have absolutely no time for gold or silver in bulk. Either you will need a metal cutter to hack off a bit of gold for a roll of toilet paper or the person with the goods is going to take the whole bar. Metals just pick up nuclear radiation and I see no purpose in it as your grocery or the blackmarket guy is not going to know what a chunk of gold is worth any more than what a diamond ring is worth.
If I had it, I would probably have a few thousand dollars in silver coins hidden somewhere, and then forget I had them, and try to barter my way through things or rely on paper money, but you know very well that the first six months some bright boy is going to figure out how to hammer coins into existence and find a way to print up money on something which will make everyones money worthless.
I grew up in we had no rhubarb on our renter place. I hated it that Mom had to go ask Grandpa for rhubarb. I hated the stuff then, and it galled the hell out of my 5 year old heart to have to ask someone for something so worthless as rhubarb.
I may not have much, but Mom's place does have a few fruit trees and some rhubarb, walking onions and maybe artichokes. It is pure stupidity in not having at least something growing in your yard.
I was just puzzled in how someone who is good, could be offering free food to people, and Americans are too shiftless to even put in the effort. Hopefully they will be the first Darwin candidates to bite the dust. Probably be hauling their Steve Quayle radioactive gold down to Wendy's for a soylent burger and wonder why they are crapping blood.
Enough of that pleasant thought.
