On the apple tree Pirate loved, we had very few apples. First I saw only one, then later on we found three more. Tw were rotten, Pirate ate the last one.
Then this morning, as I looked out from our bedroom window I saw a red apple on that tree. I went there, fully expecting either yet another rotten apple or it to be in some hard to reach place. But no - I stretched out my hand and picked the apple for Pirate to eat. It had eluded us all for several days of looking for apples. And I'm suresome ORIENT RED - the Colour of the Month - is to be found in the photo of the elusive apple.

While waiting for an update on this, know that I'm still reading and enjoying your blogs, albeit a bit later than any of us would like.

That is a gorgeous looking apple. I am glad that it finally showed itself to you. I really like your new header photo too.
SvarSletIt is an apple tree I inoculated many years ago, and the apples are delicious - unknown variety, sory
SletI'm glad you found that apple. I once found two small plums the birds missed because they were under the leaves.
SvarSletHappy find that one too, Our plums are eaten by wasps, not birds.
SletGorgeous apple and a lovely shot of it too! I have splashes of that colour in my living room and kitchen.

It is a great colour. Thanks.
SletIt is beautiful, and yes, just the right color. I hope it was as good as it looks.
SvarSletIt was - according to the Pirate.
