Without thinking, he pitched his apple core onto that spot and sent you tree full of apple blossoms!
That very well could be how that tree ended up there. The apples are small and very tart.
The Heifers are back in that pasture; Farmer Dan brought them over, yesterday. They will ‘summer’ with us until fall when they go back to their farm/barn to be bred for next year’s crop-o-milkers. The first place they explore is the very top of that hill. I’ll find a picture of them up there so you can see them in comparison to that apple tree.
A lot of that pastureland is straight UP, so from that distance it looks like they’re standing on the roof of our barn!
