Time to bite the bullet and figure out my income taxes. This year it is unlike anything I've ever considered doing because of the political situation and the agency that processes them under massive assault. I will continue to write and call and nag my representatives. If I owe taxes I'll set up a second checking account at my credit union and use that account for the debited payment, hoping to keep my usual account number out of harm's way if all of this goes pear shaped onto the dark web.

Today there are a couple of more things to offer on Buy Nothing and a whole bunch more for eBay. The camera is out and the second computer warmed up for processing photos.

Last night the new friend from the buy nothing group posted a photo of the mustang grape jelly she made. Her original intent was to use the strawberry juice first, but I bet her curiosity is why she changed plans. And of course she was thrilled with the flavor! It is a sweet-tart taste kind of like tamarind, by way of comparison. I'm glad to be sharing the wealth of these grapes (now to find a new vine that is easy to reach and not also full of poison ivy.) My daughter wants to make wine if I can find a good source; she can't use frozen juice because you have to start the whole grapes with the skin for the must.
