.. when it has barely begun to freeze?
Yesterday, before the warm up, I went through the remainder of the apples that we had stored in bins down in the basement. I spent a couple hours peeling and slicing what was good, freezing enough for six pies. The peels and too soft apples were dumped under one of the wild apple trees for the deer. This afternoon I checked on them. There had been a lot of lookers, but no one was hungry enough to eat them. I hope that's a good thing.
Tonight, it is raining, melting away last week's snow and turning the roads into hockey rinks, water on ice. There are patches of grass showing through. So weird. I bet this is a prelude; winter getting ready to remind us that it is early in the season. We need some snow here. Besides, I like a bit of winter. Sitting in front of the wood stove with my knitting or a book, with snow falling outside the windows, is something I look forward to.
There's still February and March… plenty of winter left for wool.

Looks beautiful! You made it work. Hope they pick you clean and you have barely anything to take back home. Miss you!
The only way it would look better would be if I were standing there IRL ;0)
