Wild Roadside Harvest

These apples were found in the countryside

by the road, lovely and ripe, tart-sweet and

crisp white inside. We were thrilled, and

they just fell into our hands. Their full size is

no larger than a small plum. We collected

them in old calico bags, leaving a good

number on the tree, and they were still

warm from the sun.
