It's On

I was down to just one apple on the trees, a perfectly reasonable development for my young fruit trees.  Though I figured I'd have to share with JT, I was looking forward to eating the apple come harvest season.  Then Pesky the Squirrel beat me to the punch.  I probably could have stood losing the apple to the garden wildlife staff; these things happen.  Bet Pesky didn't just eat the apple.  He ate it and then left the core where he could be sure that I would find it. 

Hear me now, Pesky:  You may have won this round but I have opposable thumbs and  I'm looking into weaponry.  Don't rest too comfortably.
