"Greenings" -- formal name, Rhode Island Greenings, a winter and baking apple not common in stores. We go out to the only orchard in the area that grows them, and _maybe_ they'll have some. The type usually bears every other year, one reason why it's dying out commercially, but it gives lovely crisp tart fruit that will keep in the cellar until nearly spring. Younger Son used to like to eat the slices raw, when Wife and I were making up a pie or apple crisp.

The signing is at the Bangor, Maine Borders at 2:00 PM on 5 November, a Saturday.
