This is Amazing! These apples came from the 2 apple trees in our backyard! It's unbelievable to me because for the past 8 years these trees have been yucky crab apple trees. No one has ever done anything to them and they have always been bad. Well this year we noticed an influx of apples. There were so many apples I had many friends come and pick them. My friend Loni and I apple cored and peeled and canned. We felt very pioneer-ish! Anyway-they were still a little tart but I thought they were as good as they were going to get. Or so I thought. I haven't been back there for several weeks now. We had picked so many but there are still a lot left. So this is what I found! The biggest, juiciest, crispiest most intense color of red apples! I don't know how this happened-I guess it's a lesson in patience. Good things come to those who wait- but if you endure even longer it will be so much better than you even imagined. Maybe this is my life lesson!
