Bobbing Apples

I guess this year we are all about the backyard produce. Yesterday I came outside to find that my husband had filled our son’s kiddie pool with apples from the somewhat neglected tree at the edge of our yard. The deer usually manage to eat all the tiny apples before they ripen enough for humans to enjoy. (One night I walked into the yard at the wrong moment and almost got hit by a deer as he bolted away from the tree! Yes, I said, I almost got hit by the deer, not the other way around. It was serious. He was three-times my size, with antlers, and he suddenly wanted out of that yard more than anything. Talk about wildlife taking your breath away!) This year the apples were eaten only by worms, but still greatly enjoyed by humans. (One in particular.) Of course, I ran to get the camera.
