Sorry that this is such an awful photo. I moved.

When I moved here, there was this huge shrub in the back yard. The first year, it didn't bloom, but last year, it had these little white blossoms. Maybe, ten. I drug a copl to my computer and decided that it was some kind of a fruit blossom.

Hmmmm. so I waited.

And it grew apples!

I went in and hacked away the bottom layers. I do wish that someone had told me that very old poison ivy vine is hairy, and much more dangerous than the leaves of three that it didn't have at the time.

Thee weeks and a round of steroids later, I walked to the back, and saw that it really did look like an old apple tree!

It had thousands of blooms this spring! How lovely.

Note to self: avoid hairy vines.
