$#%^&@! Weather!

We've had some really wonky weather here in Minnesota - some very glorious - unseasonably warm days...and then stretches of days where it doesn't stop raining for days on end...
And then the wind comes up...and blows your patio furniture to the neighbors house...

And then you sit down at your dinner table and look out across your lawn to see this...







I didn't cry - but I wanted too! Our kids don't eat much fruit - but they LOOOVE apples off of our very own apple tree - as does our dog, as seen here!
This year over last year out tree doubled if not tripled in size...the apples were plentiful and delicious...
We sprayed it this year and have been learning how to take care of it...

::CRY::

Oh well...Our neighbor lobbed off the broken stuff - we now have 'half of an apple tree' and are going to see what next spring brings us...

And now...what's YOUR favorite recipe using delicious ripe home grown apples?
