Don’t go breaking my heart…er, tree…

We had a sudden snowfall in February that dumped about five inches of wet, white stuff on us. It was beautiful…it looked like a winter wonderland.

But…it also exposed a fatal flaw in one of our trees.

This apple tree we’ve had for about 20 years snapped with the weight of the snow. The Spousal Unit found out that it was rotten at the core/base which hastened its demise. [I feel like there’s some hidden message there about a certain political party.]

The Spousal Unit has already ordered a new tree to take its place. Who has time to mourn for Adonis or apple trees? It’s a sour cherry. We’ve had pretty good luck with another sour cherry he planted a few years back. We love our sour cherry desserts!
