A happy Monday indeed! Here’s why:
A couple of years ago, we planted some baby fruit trees.

They’ve had a tough go so far, and a few of them didn’t make it. We honestly weren’t sure whether they’d ever actually produce any fruit at all, so imagine our surprise and delight when we discovered our very first apple!

Really, there were two, but the deer (or one of the other little creatures that frequent our back garden) must have gotten to one of them before we could. I’m happy we even have one, though, and I hope it’s a sign of even more to come. There’s a special kind of magic to watching things grow, isn’t there?
Happy apple picking! You might need to get a deer net for the tree!

Yeah, I think we’re going to need to, or look at another solution. They’ve already eaten all of our cherries. And now we have a groundhog problem. Country living. (I wouldn’t trade it for anything, though.)

The groundhogs have just made a mess of tunnels under the magnolia tree!

It is! 🙂 Maybe one day we’ll have enough apples to make pies and stuff! (That’s been a dream of mine for ages.)
