Tree Love
…we don’t really know what is going on with the apple trees this year…the first apple dropped off in early July and one by one they have continued to fall just as they get to fist-size. At least it set some fruit, and some of the neighbour’s fruit trees are behaving the same way. Well, at least these last two apples are hanging on. We expected them to start falling in a couple of weeks.
Never mind, tree – you did your best and we love you!

OMG! Those babies are the cutest things ever!!♥♥♥
Thank you! I carved the little one in the red suit, and a friend made Ginny, the one in her birthday suit!
Our apple trees are seeming to take a rest this year. The last two years there have been bountiful harvest of the fruit, not so this year. That seems typical to have a resting period. But the one apple tree (Macintosh) that looked to have a good yield has been dropping fruit each day before totally ripe-around 10 apples per day. What might they “know” that we have questions about?
I wonder? My Quince tree is dropping fruit too, it is a little disheartening.
That is just plum adorable. Thank you!
aw, thanks! Those pocket-sized dollies can certainly ham it up in a big way!
You have reminded me to check my trees! The one on the driveway, a cooking apple, had a few fruits and, like yours, they are dropping whilst still only small.
I know some years apple trees take a rest…maybe next year will be less dropsy?!
What sweet images, they made me smile!
Those littles have big fun!
I so love the littles! I am sorry their apple tree has dropped fruit too early. Happy there are still apples ripening on the tree. I really enjoyed the little girls sleeping accommodation…so cute!
