Crabapple

This is a crab apple tree starting to fruit. Welcome to summer!  We are actually in the middle of a heat wave.  I bought a new sprinkler hose and some environmentally friendly weedkiller.  How is that for summer shopping!





My friend S is on a train trip out west with a girlfriend.  It seems like it was a four day train ride from Toronto to Vancouver.  She reports the food being very good although there was not much else to do besides sleep and eat.  Sounds a bit like a cruise, except there is more to do on cruises.

I got this from Matt's Wallpaper blog recently, it made me chuckle!
It's entitled 'Oscar Swag'. And 'swag' these days means cool and stylish as far as I understand!

LOve Oscar! We have crab-apple hedges in front of the house, too! Valerie

Hmmm. Not sure I would want to endure a 4 day train ride. Lol. As you pointed out, there's not much to do!

Christine... we are in the middle of a heat wave here in Ohio too... although we haven't had electric since Friday evening (around 135 hours). We have a powerful generator borrowed from a friend, which has helped keep life somewhat normal! Everything is SO dry, but our crabapple in the front is loaded with fruit... about the only thing outside, it seems, doing well :) Have a great day!
