Episode 141: Bounty

Terrastina drives out to her friend’s place in the country for a visit. My apple trees are producing like crazy this season, says Terrastina’s friend. I don’t know why some years they just make a lot of fruit. They walk out to the orchard. Bushel baskets, heaped to overflowing with red and green apples, dot the ground. I’ll be making a lot of cider this week, says Terrastina’s friend. You should take some apples with you. I can’t use them all. Terrastina grabs the apple picker and advances towards a tree. No problem, she says. I love picking apples.
