Harvesting apples

There have been lots of fruits harvested during the time I last posted and now.  Black currants, raspberries, and now apples.  I'm tending to post more on Places of the Spirit now, even as my vegetable garden is churning out tomatoes, squash, and beans.  I need to double post, I guess.  But I'm posting drawings there, too, and drawing practice pieces. But this post is about apples. We have two old apples trees; my friend thinks they're Paula Red.   They're wonderful applesauce apples, regardless of name. They're small, collected as windfalls, as the wind has been howling over the last two days.  These, now cooked, will become apple bars tomorrow.
