The days here are all at once into the decay of fall. Leaves drop, evenings cool. We approach the time of stews and sauces.

In the process. The Kingston fire came close to burning over us again - it would have taken out the last building left standing, a shed.

It burned in the first fire in May.

Similar, but very different inside. Here’s two pictures of apples from the Hidden Tree several years ago.

Big Yellow was an amazing tree, but it was right in the path of the first fire.

Big Yellow and Ray’s Path also have spotty post-fire leaf growth, but no apples this year.

Two of my favourite apple trees, Apple Tree 1 and the Hidden Tree, survived the CBN forest fires.
