Hello Michele, just trying to catch up since returning from vacation. I hope you are doing well and having a great summer. Have you been able to do any fly fishing recently?

Lovely....and with the promise of crisp, juicy sweetness!

I just too photos of my not-yet-ripe peaches and apples, too. Great minds think alike :)

Great photo - reminds me of a song back during my childhood. I think it was called "God Didn't Make Little Green Apples" but I'm not sure.

Hope you are well, Michele, and enjoying some lovely weather where you live.

Let us hope there will be lots of sun and heat so you can get good and tasty apples:) Some of my height point every autumn is to pick apples, and I cross my fingers that they should be very tasty.

A great pic Michele. It reminds me of a house I lived in for awhile. It had a sour apple tree based at the corner of our yard. I loved to climb inside its fullness and shake those apples to the ground. Thanks for the memory. Have a great day.

Hi Michele, I used to eat GREEN apples when I was a child. Talk about a tummy ache!!!! ha ha.... I still enjoy green apples though--the Granny Smith variety.

Hope yours ripen and become good to eat...

Hugs,
Betsy

That is such a familiar view for me...I used to work at an apple orchard.

I love the new header, Michele! The road is so inviting and welcoming. :)

Apples, especially the Macintosh type, are my favorite fruit. One of these days, I'm going to have an apple tree in my yard to go with the guava and orange trees and the grapevine.

Oh, and before I forget -- when I visited this morning, "Whiskey Lullaby" came on the music player. I love that song, too!

Great picture - can't grow apples here - it's too hot.

Your little green apples sure look nicer than mine. Mine came from a dwarf Jonathon apple tree that never had produced a nice looking or good eating apple. I think it has something to do with the dwarf process and the grafting onto different root stock. Anyway, just the other day Patty and I were trimming it up for the first time since planted about 28 years ago, when the bottom where the trunk joins the ground and roots, and it cracked, snapped. So I pushed over on it a little and bang, down it came. So now I don't have a bad apple tree either. I am considering if I should get maybe a cherry tree or something to replace it with.

Ours are about the same size exactly here in Upper Michigan.
Our summer has been colder than usual, so I think they are running behind a little in size.
Our strawberries are at least 3 weeks later this year, too. We just went picking this week (see my yesterday's blog post).

That makes for such a nice photo. Lovely.

Very nice perspective of the apple tree! Sunday in the mountains, at Bardonecchia, I've seen many of these trees.
