Applefest Cancelled


As you can see by this picture of my lone surviving apple tree, there are no apples on it now. There were 3 small, rather scruffy looking apples on it until recently. Apparently someone or animal decided they wanted them and took them.

I wasn't sure how we were going to celebrate, perhaps we could have made a quarter cup of cider or a few tablespoons of apple sauce or even a half slice of pie. Or perhaps David and I were simply going to each eat 1 and 1/2 apples to begin and end the festivities. But regardless the event has been canceled so you can make the appropriate notations on your calenders. Maybe next year...

I can't believe Applefest has been canceled! I was really looking forward to the "Who Can Eat 1 and 1/2 Apples the Fastest" contest. Ive been practicing all year!

Not only do I not see the apples, I almost don't see the tree!

Man, that's too bad. That's got to be the 15th or 16th Applefest canceled in a row. When will the organizers get their act together...

Well, at least Oak Leaf Fest will go on. I can't wait to see who can pin 500,000 oak leaves together on a string the fastest. Ooh, or the high dive off the garage into a pile of oak leaves! This year promises to be the best year yet for soggy oak leaves long into December.
