Apple pickin' time

Nothing much happened for Cute Potatoe the last few days cos we've had oooodles of rain...bah!!... but today the sun shone and while CP and I were taking in the view of a wonderful blue sky we spied something at the bottom of the garden that I hadn't noticed before. CP obviously has much better eyesight than I and squealed with excitement at her discovery of an apple tree :D Ooooooh can we go climbing and pick apples says she... Not on your Nelly says I ... don't you know I'm scared of heights!! Well CP was having none of that... excuses, excuses .... all you have to do is lift me up cos I is a brave Cute Potato I am. So off we trotted and true to her word she was fearless and before I knew it she had leapt from my arms and was off like a shot climbing that tree like a seasoned lumberjack .

She perched herself up there in the dizzy heights ...trying to get a suntan as she posed for a while and THEN....... "T I M B E R" she shouted as she shook those branches with all her might while the apples tumbled down like rain around my head until I stood in a puddle of them :D Job well done says she.... laughing hilariously at my predicament... "don't stand on them... we have to eat them". She was a good CP though once she dried the tears of laughter from her eyes and helped me collect all her well earned goodies ready for whatever mouthwatering delight I manage to make with them :D

They are only teeny weeny apples (crab apples to those of you who know what I'm talking about) but with lots of sugar I'm sure they will taste just wonderful!!
