55 on a Friday

The apple standing alone at the edge of a parking lot was not a happy tree. Last spring it had been trimmed within an inch of its life. This cold and wet spring bees failed to visit its blossoms. Now the scorching summer heat has sapped all its juices and the remaining fruit has shrivelled.

Sad tree. Beautifully written. I can picture it.

So sad.
My tree was totally trimmed by my guys. They left two branches and I was not happy but the two branches are covered in apples. I am so impressed.

life can sometimes be cruel although it ails me to see trees doing poorly...
