We might just get some apples off the old tree this year. And you might just get some apple-butter out of the deal. It’s all in the bee’s hands now –
Keep your fingers crossed.
And this is for my French-Canadian friend, Guy, who thinks I take too many pictures of my cats –
My cat is pretty sure he can dispose of your carcass in the lake right behind the house. He also tells me he’s not afraid of that pushover of a dog of yours.

I wouldn’t mess with your cat. I’ve always thought orange cats were the toughest, like the Chuck Norris’ of the cat world. And, for the record, one can never take too many pictures of one’s cats. For real.
