In 1982 I went to Toronto and drove down to Niagra, New York. I remember seeing the apple trees flush with fruit and the leaves changing just slightly. I knew the deer loved apples, but, though I raise cattle, I did not know cattle would eat them with relish. Did you see these things happen back then?

Very nice piece.

Good morning.

I am a good deal south of Niagara County. Smack dab in the center of the state.


Oh yes, it is a very common sight to see cows eating fallen apples and green apples. We were told as kids, that cows got drunk from eating green apples.

In the fall, honey bees will hang around apples trees as well. They like the sweet fallen apples, too.
Ah the deer which are in abundance here will feast to their hearts delight on apples, as you mentioned. We have a huge deer population due to people feeding them.

It's not uncommon for deer to wander into the city now days. I don't think they have envaded a poetry meeting in church, but they sure do enjoy roaming around any store they get into.

Many creatures seem to love apples...

Reminds me of a song Rosalie Sorrels sang:

If you love me,
If you love, love, love me,
Plant a rose for me
If you think you're gonna love me
For a long, long time
Plant an apple tree.

So, whether you comes
And whether you goes
I'll have an apple
And I'll have a rose
So easy to eat,
Nice to my nose
And every little bite will be
A sweet reminder of the time you loved me
And planted a rose for me ...
And a apple tree.
