where apples come from



Smokehouse apple blossoms display in the orchard at the end of the pasture. Honesty disclosure here--orchard is two apple trees, this and the yellow delicious. And, pasture is a triangle large enought to sustain two sheep.

The operative word today is "display." I might say, show off.

If every blossom matured into a half pound apple the tree would collapse.

The smokehouse variety is slightly antique. It was my mom's favorite and I love it as much as any.
