1-0, Bears

Those are my beautiful apple trees.  The one on the left has green apples, and the little one on the right has small reddish apples.  Unfortunately, when I went out to pick the apples, and they were GONE.  There are maybe a dozen left, that i can't reach, which i assume is why the bears didn't get them.  There are also several that look like this:

apparently the bears are picky. This is all they left behind.....

This means no home picked apple cider this year, which is too bad because i found out you can rent cider presses from homebrew shops.  Maybe we will buy some apples or cider and make some hard cider anyways as practice, but it wont be quite the same.

 

While i was out with the camera i did take some other pictures of the house.  This is the porch. And here is what the lawn looks like today.  you can compare to the one i posted last time.  Much greener, and as you can see the leaves on some of the trees are starting to fall.

Here is one of my favorite trees.  It is behind the house, and is begging for a tire swing.
