I hope this is the last time this season. The last time for clearing the ground of fallen apples. Yesterday I "raked" them all up into eight little piles. Today we'll load them into the wheelbarrow and dump them into the compost pile. Then I can cut the grass.
Looking out the den window. I count eight little piles. Can you see them all?
I cut the north forty yesterday afternoon (the apples are in the west forty). The sun was out and the grass was dry. I probably won't mow today because the grass may not be dry enough in the ten-to-noon window that we're allowed to use power tools (that make noise) on Sundays.
Good job piling apples.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shame you can't do anything with all those apples - make compôte and sell it on the market perhaps?!
ReplyDeletePS I read the title as "apple pie time" at first.
DeleteEight piles, that’s a lot of apples. For your back’s sake, I hope this is the last time you have to pick them up this year.
ReplyDeleteOops! That was me above.

It's interesting that France still has the quiet hours rule :)
ReplyDeleteWe only got 4 pathetic apples on our tree this year. So disappointing.

mitch, not so good a job at moving them. They're still out there.
ReplyDeletejean, I've made tarts and applesauce (for the freezer) with some. There are just so many!
bettyann, I hope so. If not, there aren't that many left so it won't be as big a job.
judy, I don't know about the whole country, but in our town it's the rule.
sean, maybe next year! It's still a young tree.
I think you are supposed to leave a few on the ground for the fairies or the deer or someone like them.
