Three years ago I blogged about the apples I canned. They were some of Ammon's first foods. When I did the job the apples were so small and wormy. I wondered if it was even worth it. But Ammon loved every bite.
Two years ago David Boone came and trimmed up our tree. It has been so beautiful and this is the first year it has produced since then...Big Beautiful Red Apples with much less bugs.
One evening recently we spent in harvesting our fruit. Mike picked the apples off the tree and my job was to gather apples from the grass.
Bridger had fun exploring this new world and tasting it.
A few days later my face began to change.
And then it got worse. I didn't know there had been poison ivy under the tree. But I survived. Mike says we will kill it in the spring. In the meantime we are staying far away from that corner.
Despite my gruesome face, I still love the apples.
