It was enjoyable to have Matthew and Isaac visit us for the past four days. Matthew did lots of work around the homestead, the most major of which was a picket fence around the lower garden.
Isaac enjoyed playing with toys that were new to him, riding with me on the John Deere lawn tractor, riding hot wheels and little battery powered jeeps, and feeding the fish in our pond. They left on several Delta flights to return to Pittsburgh this afternoon.

| The prelude to the story. My semi-dwarf honey crisp apple produced ONE fruit this year. We saved it for Isaac to pick believing that by this time it would be crunchy and sweet (we were right on the crunchy, but woefully wrong on the sweet). |
 |
| Karol held Isaac as he tried to pick the apple, but alas it was too tightly attached to the tree, and the water on the leaves began to shower Karol. |
 |
| So grandpa gave it a shot holding Isaac while he finally, with two hands, pulled the apple from the tree. Sweet success. Now we made the trip to the house to hear Karol share the story. |

| Catching fish for our supper (down in our pond). |

| There's always got to be some time set aside for a magic show. |
Have to wait until October for the Honeycrisp to get sweet. Cold temps turn the starch into sugar. :)
