FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T KNOW…MELVIN IS THE FARMER THAT OWNS “BOB” THE HORSE AND THE REST OF THE HERD. Β HE CALLED ME REALLY EARLY YESTERDAY MORNING AND WANTED ME TO STOP BY THE FARM.
IT TURNS OUT THAT MELVIN WOKE UP AND GOT AN IDEA FOR A BOOK THAT HE’D LIKE ME TO WRITE…HE’D BEEN THINKING ABOUT IT ALL MORNING AND HE COULDN’T WAIT TO TELL ME HIS IDEA.
HE ALSO WANTED ME TO SEE HOW HEALTHY HIS APPLE TREES ARE THIS YEAR AND HOW MANY APPLES THEY HAD ON THEM…LAST YEAR WE HAD AN EARLY FREEZE AND ALMOST NO APPLES…I’M GOING TO GO OVER AND PICK SOME UP OFF OF THE GROUND FOR HIM TOMORROW, SO THAT HE CAN GIVE THEM TO THE HORSES…HE HAS TO STAY ON HIS GOLF CART AND CAN’T GET AROUND TO DO IT HIMSELF.
I GUESS ALL I REALLY WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU IS HOW GREAT I THOUGHT IT WAS THAT MELVIN IS THINKING “CREATIVELY” AND REALLY ENJOYING IT…..HE CHANGED MY LIFE AND I CHANGED HIS…IT DOESN’T GET MUCH BETTER THAN THAT!
BY THE WAY..THESE IMAGES WERE TAKEN WITH MY PHONE…SO…NOT TOO BAD FOR A PHONE.
*excitedly* It is a apple-ly ever after story?

I was supposed to go over there today and pick some apples up off of the ground for him to feed to the horses…but now I’m afraid he’ll chase me with his golf cart all around the apple trees.

I’m sure you’ll be fine! You look like you can easily outrun a golf cart. Will you be eating any of the apples?

I dont know if I can outrun it…those puppies are FAST!
The apples have a little way to go before we can literally sink our teeth into them….but as soon as we can, Melvin told me to come and get some….(I think he meant apples)

Man but those apple trees are carrying a lot of fruit… and your phone camera takes too good a picture… so toss your other cameras my way as my phone is useless…

No tossing will be done…..my cameras are “family”….Melvin “grows” friendships too…not just apples….He has quite a lot of people who stop by just to visit….I’m just one of them..I suspect you are like Melvin in that way.

Melvin sounds like a character. Good to have neighbors like that. I hope he had a good idea.
The tree is laden heavily. This year will be good for the apple orchards. We have several nearby in IA.
Thanks for the pictures and story. You and your phone did a good job. I could hold my cell phone up for a picture. But, it doesn’t have a camera in it. Old school, I guess. π
