So emblematic of summer’s last gifts,
bushels of fall to look forward to…
Small, antique “Liberty” apple on an espaliered tree…
said to be Thomas Jefferson’s favorite…
Antique Sombreuil white Tea rose peeks into the frame…
c. 1850…named after Mlle de Sombreuil,
a heroine of the French Revolution…
Wonderful memories of driving out to the country
to pick apples and visit farm stands
when the kids were little…
varieties rarely seen in the supermarket…
crisp air…crisp apples…

Hi Trish,
Lovely post.
One of my childhood joys was picking a crunchy fresh apple off the tree in the garden at home.
Also enjoyed the vieux Paris green, you shared, as I really love the colour.
Hope that you are having a happy week
hugs

Hi Trish,
Nice to see these images of apples! Last Sunday, we went to a big garden centre to buy our fruittrees! We bought among them 4 appletrees for in the backyard and they will have be planted next month! So many different appletrees! I twas hard to choose!
