An apple a day


The one apple from our trees this year

Woke up this morning to snow flurries.  They didn't stick when they hit the ground.  It's a reminder that winter is on the way.

For our wedding anniversary two years ago--Geo bought us apple trees.  Two trees to be exact.  I think apple trees are very beautiful when they grow.

One is a MacIntosh tree and one a Cortland.  According to what I've read of trees it takes them 3-5 years to bear fruit.  We were excited that we got one apple ahead of schedule this year.

I have plans for when they fruit-- cider, cider vinegar, pies, etc.  It may be awhile though,  I'm willing to wait.
