I know fall is around the corner when the boys are itching like they have fleas on them. They don’t, ok? I know so coz I check them all the time and they have Frontline Plus flea and tick application every month.
The temperature has dropped quite a bit which I like very much. No more sweating like a pig. The leaves on the trees are changing colors: green, light green, yellow, orange to red. Really pretty. But I doubt the leaves will stay for long with the gail force winds we have lately.
Remember this tree? It only looks pretty in spring. The flowers will dropped like crazy in June and the crab apple will pop out.
Lovely flowers, ain’t it? The flowers are just too beautiful. I always stare out the door or window at the tree when its blooming. Pretty pink flowers. Too bad it wouldn’t stay.
Since fall is here, look what’s on the ground? A crap load of crab apple!!! It’s really irritating walking out on the yard with these little iddy beady fruit on the ground/grass; You will step on them and *squish*. All stuck to the shoes. You cannot eat them coz they are not edible. The boys will eat them, no problems from eating them but how much can they eat, right? The squirrels wouldn’t eat them. The squirrels actually go for the oak tree acorns. As for now, these crab apple will be on the ground till DB does his yard work this weekend.
They look like cherries, don’t they? I wish they were.
