The apple tree is loaded and ready to be picked. The apples are Empire apples, I find it makes small apples which are perfect for school lunches that need to be eaten quickly.
This tree is seven years old and still not much bigger than me – the perfect apple tree for a city lot.
I picked some apples last night to add to the muffins I was making (also for lunches) and when I moved them off the counter later, I noticed one had brought with it a traveler.
We put the apple with its small charge back outside, and wished the snail well on its travels.

The apples look delicious. What a cute little snail! Hope you have good week. Ros

So cute. I recall finding a similar sized little guy in a store-bought baby lettuce. It seemed he’d had quite a journey. Like you, I placed him and his lettuce leaf outside and wished him well.

Oh, I love apple season. I made up some applesauce this weekend and have a handful of my bigger apples sitting in the fridge waiting for Apple Cake this weekend!
Cute little apple friend…so nice of you to place ‘him’ and ‘his’ apple back outside!
