Our Charlie Brown Apple Tree






When Tim and I moved into our house... we inherited an apple tree. The tree used to be Mom's. We "inherited" it right after Mom put a chain around it's little trunk and jerked it out of the ground with the tractor. :) There were still roots attached, and I wanted to "save" the tree... so I planted it right outside the kitchen window. At the very least I thought that the apples would be good to feed the horses. It was a pretty good plan - and with lots of TLC - my little Charlie Brown Apple Tree began to grow. Jesse and Eagle had apples aplenty for the past few years... that is... until the kids came along. It's been a tough year for the horses. Not only have they had to share their apples with TONY (the girl's horse) they now have had to share them with Ali, Rachel, McCaleb... oh yes... and MOLLY. Apparently Molly has decided the apples are her new favorite treat. And the bonus is that she can pick her own and eat them whenever she wants. Life on the farm is always a lot of fun!
