Crab Apple Branch

Busy day on Skype and texting and writing letters (yes, writing!). It has been raining but the sun shone through about lunch time and looking out of the Kitchen window the crab apple tree looked very good. This is one of the branches and as you can see it is well-laiden. The apples are really sweet and mostly I make jelly or apple juice from them, but leave enough for the blackbirds in Winter. They love them, especially when there has been a lot of snow and there are only berries and apples to feed from.
