Lilly Loves Apples

My old apple orchard woke up this fall and produced a huge crop of delicious apples.  I heard that apples were abundant all over Central New York.  My sheep gained a nice amount of weight going into the winter from all those apples.  Nobody loves apples as much as Lilly.  I bought a bag for her and took one out to chores with me tonight.  Guess who smelled the apple in my pocket and came running over to eat it.  Lilly has quite a set of teeth, as she is one of the oldest sheep I have ("long in the tooth").   I have to be careful how I hold the apple or risk losing a bit of finger or two.  I hope we have another good apple crop next year.  Lilly would be sooo happy.
