Another batch of crabapples. In twenty minutes the older kids and I picked 15 lbs off a loaded tree on our road.
Aren't they beautiful?

When I was about 10, friends of ours had to cut their crabapple down, but first let us pick it clean. That was *the best* apple butter ever. We ate it like apple sauce.
Mmm... Bonnie, it is so good, isn't it? Sean ate a bowl of it this morning. :)
WOW.. I never knew that you could do anything with crab apples.. my parents had a tree in their yard for years.. I thought it was to feed the birds.
