Woeful countenance

Air temperature 62 F, wind southeast 7 mph, cloudy. Not raining at this instant, but roads are wet. Supposed to be showers off and on all day, then heavy rain and wind from the remains of Philippe. Which the National Hurricane Center is no longer tracking. Clearing tomorrow.

Nature is like that

Wife and I just removed several dozen apples from the tree out front. Most of them worthless, due to damage or obvious insects. We'll let the maybe "keepers" meditate in the garage for a bit. But that was way more production than a dwarf tree can carry through a storm. Just like the thousand plus/minus crabapples in the tree in the back. Wasted effort.
