Oh, I thought the deer were eating someone’s regular apples-this part of the hill country is good for apples-the big orchards in this county do an apple festival in late July/early August-they sell baskets of apples, craft stuff, little apple trees, etc. Crabapples here are good to eat-they grow wild, but a lot of people plant the trees as an ornamental plant, too.
neighbors who have since moved planted these, probably to set at least some visual barrier between their house and ours when we first moved in. Apple orchards are a bit farther out than we are, on Route 66. We used to go when the kids were little to pick them there.
