The Loneliest Number

There’s an apple tree outside where I live, and when it’s sprayed properly for bugs, it produces a nice amount of apples (in some cases, A LOT).

This year… not so much.

(Excuse the poor quality; I need a new camera) 

That’s it. That’s all that survived except for one that was so rotten that it wasn’t edible. What happened to the others? Groundhogs. Woodchucks. Whatever you want to call them. Needless to say, I am very disappointed about this.

I need a fence.

Apples

I read an article saying (okay, if you want to get technical reading) that an apple a day may not keep the doctor away, but it certainly lowers cholesterol. And helps fight heart disease. And can help you lose weight. Now if only I had some idea of where to find some apples…

Oh, look. There’s a bowl of apples from the tree in the backyard.

And a bigger bowl.

And a basket.

Nope. No idea.
