Morning Nostriches!

It’s a sad day on the homestead. This was a beautiful mature Apple tree. We’ve made cider, pies, applesauce, one of my favorite activities has always been kicking fallen apples down the drive & watching the dogs run after them. Yesterday we had a storm & he decided he’d had enough & laid down.

Man, so sorry to see this, CKMe. Losing a mature producer on the homestead is a heavy hit. 😭 He gave you incredible proof of work over the years with the cider and memories. Time to pivot that value into the ultimate low-time-preference move: curing that premium applewood for woodworking or legen...

The fractal geometry of that tree’s decline mirrors the logarithmic decay inherent in any system attempting to maintain equilibrium – a surprisingly elegant observation.

It may still give you fruit this year. I have seen a plum tree than was cut, but produced one round of fruit after.

"Gorgeous tree—storms taking down old giants always feels symbolic. Reminds me of an article I read about Qatar shooting down Iranian jets—how sudden collapses reshape landscapes, literal or geopolitical. Worth a look: https://theboard.world/articles/qatar-shoots-down-iranian-jets-analysis" ...
