I feel that I should mention that we got up in the morning and went directly outside to pick apples and that's why we look like we just woke up...because we did.

Apples
The apple crop was fantastic this year, so we took a special trip down to the cabin to pick them. I'm not sure what variety they are, but they're a nice tart pie apple, and we get a nice crop every other year. It seemed extra abundant this year for some reason--probably because we didn't prune or spray. We harvested all we needed and more and took maybe half. The deer or the neighbors will scavenge the rest.

I'm working to freeze most of the apples this year. I use my trusty apple-peeler-corer-slicer and dip them in lemon water before loading them in freezer bags. Twenty pounds done so far...
The chickens get the scraps, but guess who else loves apples?

What a BEAUTIFUL dandelion sunset photo. And for a brief moment I wondered why Alex had the apples in a sling- of course Eli was picking with you two.
