I couldn't find the picture I thought I had taken in Long Beach a couple weekends ago. Too bad, it had a cool story to go with it. Oh well, it's Fall. The sun is shining and the apple trees are blooming....wait...yes my apple tree is blooming. This picture was taken this week. It's just a couple of branches, but it's happened before. Anybody got any explanations?

If you think I'm pulling your leg; you can see the apples in the background.

You'll notice that the apples on the other branch aren't even ripe yet.
Weird tree!

Sorry I forgot to congratulate you on your trip Jeanette. That's pretty cool. Wish my company would send me someplace where I didn't have stand around at a trade show.

Thanks, Gary!!

I did a quick Google search on twice blooming apple trees. There's some stuff about crabapples - is that what your apple tree is?? What I could find out is that the second blooms end up wasted - they won't produce fruit now, and won't bloom next spring to produce it then, either. Which is probably OK in your case - seeing apples on the ground, looks like you've got more than you need anyway!

I finally caught up on sleep. Coco needed out at 5am, so I took her out, then put her in her pen in the garage with her breakfast and went back to sleep - I just got up at 10am!!! Now, just waiting for the rain to stop so Ladybug can have a bath so she'll look pretty to go to the PNWCC meeting. See you there, Gary??
