I was weeding the few strawberry plants I have today, checking to see if they might be producing some fruit, when I received a phone call.
It was my daughter-in-law, telling me that they were loading the kids in the van and heading to the emergency room. I could hardly hear her what she was saying because of my grandson crying, or should I say HOWLING!
He had just glued his eye shut with gorilla glue, yes, you read it right, he glued his eye shut with gorilla glue! He and his twin sister thought that hiding behind the couch and using the glue as eye drops would be something new to try..
This happened around noon today, it is now 9:00 p.m. and his eye is still glued shut.
The doctor said to put the ointment on every hour and hopefully within 24 hours it would open... WHAT!
Logan doesn't seem to be too effected by it. Last week, he unscrewed his training wheels and taught himself how to ride a 2 wheel bike. Today, he can ride just as fast with one eye glued shut!
With his "partner in crime" at the emergency room.

Thoughts: I have been inspired by and taught many gardening tips from my friend Kristy. She has a spectacular yard. Her neighbor next door has an equally beautiful yard. The have planted a row of espaliar fruit trees that have formed a living fence between their properties.
Things: Training espaliar trees was a technique popular in the middle ages in Europe to produce fruit inside the walls of a typical castles courtyard without interfering with the open space and to decorate walls. They are trained to grow flattened out. They are also perfect along a fence. They are smaller fruit trees yet still bear fruit.
I have planted 2, they are both apple. A cherry espalier tree is on my wish list for this summer...
Plant one at your castle.
