I leave them for the squirrels and the deer...... Heh heh heh....... POW!!!! <BR/><BR/>It does make me sick to see what folks throw away, or let go to waste.... My neighbor has a grapefruit tree that hangs over my fence. I don't like grapefruit, but I pick them for folks who do. The fruit on their side of the fence drops to the ground Mayberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07664966137470121099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577631834680565818.post-8491717919602738892008-10-19T11:46:00.000-05:002008-10-19T11:46:00.000-05:00I had a really similar morbid delight while bicycl...I had a really similar morbid delight while bicycling across Canada earlier this year. You see, on average, about one person gets killed attempting the trip each year (out of maybe 100-200 riders who actually attempt it).<BR/><BR/>Every now and then, I'd encounter another rider (sometimes we'd ride together for a while) who'd be wearing an iPod or somesuch and, as much as we might've gotten alongAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577631834680565818.post-38499347416474195022008-10-19T10:20:00.000-05:002008-10-19T10:20:00.000-05:00Jennersen~ so very true!

There is a bonus to the sloth I suppose.<BR/><BR/>Micheal~ you have no idea how hilarious it was!

And we have applesauce and dried apples and all kinds of goodies to munch on this Fall and Winter. The mental picture of you knocking on the doors and asking for the fruit was priceless. Very well done!<BR/><BR/>MichaelStaying Alivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12833293437407206880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8577631834680565818.post-85555310894980739142008-10-19T00:38:00.000-05:002008-10-19T00:38:00.000-05:00Don't ya know they are for the pretty blooms!

They like being planted in the cold from what the internet told me. I still think that sounds mighty odd.<BR/><BR/>I am not keen on apples but I like apple pie. I also like cider. So even I would have a use for an apple tree. <BR/><BR/>JustAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
