Despite dry weather we've had some nice surprises around the yard. The apple trees have finally revealed themselves for what they are. They had not been pruned to look like one expects apple trees to look, so we were not sure until recently. They are a shade of red delicious, not all that hot straight off the tree, but they'll cook up okay. The pear did also has some fruit on it, though it seems the most finisky of our plants. I'm not sure where the watermelon came from but there are four pretty good sized melons on the vine. We finally had rain over the weekend, with more in the offing, so maybe things can ripen up okay in the next few weeks.

Briggs & I got some discount watermelon sets at Amazing Savings. They almost didn't make it through the drought but seem to be in the midst of a late-season rally. Maybe we'll have melon-o-lanterns for Halloween this year.
