I am always looking for favorite quotes to write in my journal. You are going in along with Thoreau and all those others..."I feel so badly for those whose minds can't find happiness in nature...." I love that too!

I have no idea who would be responsible for closing public land, it is so important for folks to have away to get outside and enjoy nature especially during these times of being shut in. Bravo for your bravery! After all it is "public" land. I feel like we are being taxed for things that we are not allowed to enjoy and that's wrong. <br />Decorating isn't as fun as it used to be. I liked changing the house along with the season and holidays, but lately I make myself do a little just because I want to keep moving forward and not fall into a rut. <br />Wishing you a lovely day :)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-79264304451568907872021-08-04T08:20:40.389-06:002021-08-04T08:20:40.389-06:00INSTEAD OF GETTING A LOAN,, I GOT SOMETHING NEW

At that time I was not afraid, but probably would be if it happened now. I usually start my Fall decor mid August. Cannot wait to start seeing your apples and checks!

W...Yes, some of these Covid rules are pretty silly. We used to have crabapples on our farm. I'd make jelly with them. It was one of the few things I canned, besides wild plum jelly. My dad bought me two little trees. We planted them and then I forgot about them. Years later I noticed one of them had a red hue to it. (It was way out in a pasture surrounded by wild plums. Hard to see.) I walked out and saw I had a bumper crop! Like you, I love nature and am curious about all the critters and plants. And with our God in the mix we can't go wrong. You're right. Getting old isn't for sissies! I'm praying you find many creative ways to overcome limitations and to keep on climbing over those walls!

I've been a member for years and years...but please don't tell anyone. And crabapples? I haven't seen any in years. They don't grow here in Florida. Seems like someone used to make crabapple jelly, and spiced crabapple rings or something like that. Never made any cordials...but I love the story in Anne of Green Gables and did a mock tea party with a raspberry/cranberry juice because it was for young ladies from our church, and I didn't think it wise for me, the Pastor's Wife, to serve them something that could possibly inebriate them...LOL.

Very very difficult to find the address - had to work through the software of "Pl@ntNet Identification" (which sometimes helps me to identify rare plants on my walks through nature in Bavaria) - and only my hint that I am an adept at (white!) witchcraft convinced them to send me a membership needle which has - surprise! - the form of a crab-apple! <br /><br />I love crabapples too - for many years I had a little Bonsai crab-apple on my balcony which flowered and then had many little apples - then, one day, it vanished, so sad. At the Freie Universität in Berlin there are many big trees, a lovely walk to the library.<br />And yes, I made cordial (and for the children syrup) from sloes - so yummy - and the colour alone makes you happy.

Now I know better, because hedge apples are NOT to be eaten, but crab apples look a bit like cherries. Lovely photos, even if you had to trespass to take them.

I didn't realize they had such long stems. Who do the crabapple trees belong to? That sure would be nice to have a few to make Yummy desserts and Yes, hot apple cider! I usually decorate for Autumn when the first leaves fall haha, and it's delightful that you start decorating in August. You know, I was surprised that this mountain town has things out early for each season - I was surprised to see an isle of Halloween candy out already. I loved your post today, Holly, and I also remember to take the Rosary along with me many times when I go out. <br /><br />~Sheri<br /><br />ps.....I'm so glad to hear someone loves pumpkins as much as me too. : ) Red Rose Alleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02685747099912989862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-45769102706087222172021-07-30T13:42:41.199-06:002021-07-30T13:42:41.199-06:00Don't those trees look wonderful, I love them....Don't those trees look wonderful, I love them.<br />As for the dreaded lurking around in those fields, I know how crafty it is, make sure you wipe down each and every one of those crab apples. lol<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4647919454370211644.post-63960789518789773372021-07-30T13:19:04.190-06:002021-07-30T13:19:04.190-06:00I don't decorate at all and here in Florida we...I don't decorate at all and here in Florida we don't have a real autumen but to get the fresh air and coolness and feelings of fall, that is in January for us. sometimes in Dec. if i lived where there is an autumn that would be my favorite time of the year. i like almost cold not REAL cold. no crab apples here or cordials of any kind, we do have watermelon and cantaloupe and strawberries that are in right now. i to love nature and lifes FREE to Me things.. lapping water, breezes blowinig and my favorite of nature TREES.
