Apples On The Ground

It is that time of year when we have apples on the ground from our lone apple tree. One of my neighbors has four apple trees and is also tired of the clean up. We generally have several grocery bags of good apples plus a few hundred pounds of bruised and partially bird eaten apples on the tree and ground to clean up. It is a pretty tree when it blossoms but right now I am tempted to cut it down. Hey, that is a great idea! Actually it is my plan to remove the tree next year and prepare the area for that long waited garage. Oh happy day!
