Apples Deer and I Share

apple cobbler yes, I see it oozing with sweet cinnamon sauce rising from the cracks of the earth pan, to greet me, smells heavenly. I can hardly wait to dab on ice cold frozen vanilla ice cream, combination of hot and cold I can get, only from pie and ice cream or a hot fudge sundae I do not feel guilty for stealing apples from my deer; they have also gotten their fill. They have eaten more apples than I claimed, actually. I threw to them each one of the apples that had brown spots. And they had eaten a bunch that got ripe and fell onto the ground before I got to them. The apple tree I planted as a neonate eleven years ago has pleased the deer and I both today. I consume my tasty cobbler in a farm hand way, as if it is my last meal. I am older, so maybe it is; good for the deer.

That makes me want apple cobbler and my last apple tree died a couple of years back. The squirrels eat all of the pears and cherries so, I guess I'm stuck with canned fruit. Oh well, have some real cobbler for me, will ya?

Go get some apples. They sell them in the produce aisle now.

That cobbler sounds delicious Caren. The squirrels eat my pears but I don't mind sharing.

I let the deer have so much it is ridiculous, but I still have deer. Saw a mommy and her fawn today around 4:30.

Thank you Heidi. I force myself to think of ten poems a day, and I get pretty low on ideas sometimes. But deer, and apples and cinnamon, three of my favorite things. It made sense to me.
