My first Honey Crisp !!

An apple a day keeps the doctor away. Well, that means that this tree - my honey crisp tree - the best apple ever tree - will help me be healthy for one whole day. OK - I am just excited that this tree is now going to give me apples.
Isn't it beautiful? But this is not the only apple tree I planted. The golden honey has even more apples on it.

I figure I should be able to keep the doctor away for a whole month. I am excited!


Sorry I live a very boring life. But those of you who have gardens - you understand.
That is my excitement for the week - I started back to work this week - I wish summer was just starting and not ending. I didn't get everything done.
Matt got stung by a yellow jacket/hornet/not bumble bee by his left thumb and his hand swelled up and then the swelling started to travel up the arm and two days later the swelling continued past his elbow. After a trip to the clinic and two kinds of pills and two days of rest the swelling has stopped spreading and has gone down some. That bee is dead in case you wondered. He was talking to me on the phone when it happened. Cell phones are dangerous.
Till something happens - have a great day.

Hate apple trees. Not excited another one is alive and getting in someone's way as they try to mow the lawn.

Good work, Mom! Honey Crisps are the best. Did you eat it? Was it awesome??

I like apples. We tried growing basil and cilantro and they died, but not after leaving us with a fruit fly invasion. We are glad you have had more success than us :)
