Saturday sky


I guess it's not much of a picture. We've got clouds gathering though for a storm we're waiting to blow in by tomorrow. It's getting a little cold out doors. Nice weather for being inside with knitting in your lap watching the game.



The apple tree is finally deciding it's time to shed her leaves. She had a pretty good season this year, although we didn't harvest any apples again. I think next season should be the one that we get some. So far it's birds and worms 3 us 0. Although, I did taste one this year. It may not have been quite ripe yet, but it tasted like a Granny Smith, so that should make some good pie type apples, I'm thinking. Hope we get to be here to find out. Life seems uncertain these days at the best of times, and we keep hoping that something works out that makes it clear that this is where we are to stay for a while. You know...like a job that pays the bills, that sort of thing.

We have two crab apple trees in the lot next door to us that we mow, I keep intending to get the apples from them and make crab apple jelly. But time always seems to get in the way.

Hope you get some apples off your tree next year. I'm hoping one year we'll actually get pecans off our trees in the backyard, every year we have a bumper pecan crop but every year the squirrels eat them.

Although the trees are just getting to tha tmature stage where the pecans might actually be tasty. So maybe next year.
