Apples in waiting

While our planted trees are still too young to produce any crop, the existing trees (of which there are only half a dozen or so) are bearing well. We had hoped to harvest some fruit this weekend, but even though a few are on the ground, they are not quite ready yet.

The sheep have discovered apples, and like them. Jojo in particular is keen on apples, and takes some persuasion to move away.

It is still the warmish weather of August, but a chill is rapidly moving in. Last night the temperature went well below 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and the leaves on our trees are turning their colours. This is the end of the growing season, in these weeks.
