I was tending to my tomato plants in the backyard late this morning when I decided to see how the apple tree was faring.

Even from several feet away, I could tell that we have a bumper crow afoot. I was thrilled to see all of those fledgling apples clustered in little bunches. There were so many that the branches dipped under the weight.

This particular tree produces exceptionally sweet fruit, so I am grateful for the summer-to-fall bounty that appears to be on its way.
