A Friday Surprise


There is a tree growing off to one side of the office building where I work, going on eight months now. Today I noticed, for the first time, "this is a freaking apple tree." I've walked passed the thing literally hundreds of times and never once noticed.

The fruit was small, but I found a good sized one and twisted it off the branch. It was crunchy, but fully ripe. A very good apple. Juicy and mildly tart, it's color ran from red to green. Might be a jonagold, might be something else. Definitely a good way to start the weekend.
