11/24/09 DON'T (BOTHER TO) SIT UNDER THE APPLE TREE






Tuesday, 8:00 AM. 41 degrees, wind SW, calm. The channel is calm, the sky overcast and the barometer predicts rain.
Thinking changing locations might change my luck, late yesterday I went out to the Larsen’s sugar bush, where there are many old apple trees, with apples still on them (the countryside is full of these beautiful old trees, replete with apples; I have seldom seen apples on the trees this late, it was a heavy crop). Deer love apples so I sat and waited. No deer, and what is more, no coyotes howling at sunset. I haven’t heard a coyote in three days. The weather pattern of unseasonably warm and very humid weather persists. I didn’t sit under the apple trees this morning, but stayed in bed.
