The crazy weather has confused our little crabapple tree, which decided to sprout a few leaves in the dead of winter. Or at least, what passes for the dead of winter these days.

The neighbour's mossy roof aka the raccoons & squirrels suburban rooftop highway to get last of the #crabapple fruits.

Due to sleep disorders (among many other medical issues I juggle daily), it is vanishingly rare that I ever see a sunrise anymore, even in the winter when the sun rises *after* I manage to sleep. 😬

Was able to grab a pic of this lovely little ornamental #CrabApple with rain that I suspect had frozen as it landed, given the drops seemed like little bubbles that clearly were starting to melt and slough off as the sun hit them. ❤️

Harvesting some apples. Many more left to gather up. Now what to do with them all...

Crabapples(Malus)are small-fruited trees with diverse uses. They are rich in polyphenols, vitamins, and fibers, offering health benefits and culinary applications. Their fruits, though often sour, are used in jams, ciders, and functional foods. #ai #nature #trees #science #crabapple
