FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON’T KNOW…MELVIN IS THE FARMER THAT OWNS “BOB” THE HORSE AND THE REST OF THE HERD. 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?
LOLOLOL….sort of……after you sent me that comment about the phishing yesterday…the blog went crazy….would NOT function in any way….so I never got to respond to you….today, fingers crossed, it will continue to work ok.
It seems my Internet Security was right in refusing to let me go there at that time!
Hope it is duly ironed out.
I deleted the post and this morning everything seems fine again…glad you didn’t go any further!
Be careful when any man starts musing – even Melvin 😉
Of course, I’m kidding. Can’t wait to find out what you two are up to! Love the apple pics, makes me hungry!
Hmmmmmm….Yes…I’ll be on my guard!!
LOL!
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)
LOL!!! Let’s hope so…
(You’re crazy!)
Unfortunately,,,yes..just a little
It’s a wonder those trees can bear all that weight. But aren’t we glad they do!
I know! The branches have been pulled all the way down to the ground in some cases!
Friendships are built in Heaven… this one definitely…
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.
How intriguing! I can’t wait to hear about the new book.
I’m in trouble now…that would make book number three that people would like me to do….I’m still writing my “who dun nit”, so it may be awhile until I can start with his…but we’re having fun planning it.
You wonderful friendship with Melvin always gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling :). But you’re killing us here – teasing us by not telling us the book idea LOL!
I’ll never tell!!
Wow, the apple tree is loaded!
A great year for apples!
What a lot of appels.In Belgium it’s staying to cold for longtemps and that’s the reason there are not so much apples this year.It’s a bad apple year in Belgium
That was us last year…bad year for them…hopefully next year will be better for you..
Beautiful photos, beautiful heart 🙂
Awwwwwww!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Good for Melvin! I’m sure that the book has to do with horses and maybe even apples too. 😕 What a wonderful crop this year. I love fresh apples. 🙂
I’m excited, he’s invited me over to pick apples for myself when they’re ripe!
I am sure the horses will enjoy those apples!
Now I am wondering what idea Melvin had … 🙂
lol..it’s fun to have a secret 🙂
no it doesn’t – I hope the ‘idea’ comes off & you both get successful 🙂
Thank you 🙂
Great crop of apples! How nice that you and Melvin can help each other.
I really enjoy him!
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. 🙂
Old school is excellent!!!!!!!!!! My phone has more than I need on it……
