Super nice day, 61F good weather to catch up on outside clean up. Got a lot done before it was time to stop .
No deer or antelope tracks or any sign of scat littering the pastures. Just a last warm lovely day out in the garden very much appreciated , rain due the rest of the week. The colors of Autumn is outstanding this season makes it difficult to stay focused on tasks.

You might say that about apples, Mary. But, I always peel an apple. And, usually microwave it these days. As a kid, I didn't understand why I didn't like apples, since I liked apple pie. Peelings.

that's crazy talk man!

most of the flavor is in the peelings! but, hey, i'm ok if you want to be the rebel and peel away that icky stuff, if i were local i'd say dry them as they will get sweeter and be a much better snack.

I'm with you Flowerbug! I even leave the peels on mashed potatoes (unless I'm offering them to company, in which case I bow to convention and peel them). Worse still are those who remove seeds from blackberries, cucumbers, or even tomatoes. Blasphemy! These fruits and vegies are nothing without their seeds!

I do cut up apples into 4 parts, removing the core, these days to make them easier to eat. Preparing apples and carrots is always tinged with sadness these days, knowing there are no horses or ponies to share with.
