Own apples into December

This was a good year for my apple tree! The harvest was plentiful. At some point I wondered if I could eat all the apples myself. I did give some away to Martin! (I had got some of his pears; his pear tree also had a very good season.) But after baking two apple pies and storing the rest of the apples in a cool dark place, I had faith I would otherwise manage on my own. And that is actually quite nice! Apples from your own garden are always the best. And it is satisfying to have them until late in the season. And I just managed to make them last until early December! I think that's a good score. In all likelihood, next year won't be very good. But that's life!
