Apple Pickin' Sonya

I have an apple tree and two pear trees in my backyard. I've made a few pies off the fruits. I'd make more, but Sonya and Preacher don't leave enough for me by the end of the growing season.



Braeburn apple.





Sonya has been eyeballing the fruit since they were merely blossoms.






Checking on their readiness everyday through the summer.






One day, in the warmth of August, Sonya picks the first fruit.






And so, everyday for the rest of August and into September, Sonya becomes a very adept apple pickin' dobie.






While Preacher supervises... 







And eats what Sonya is willing to share. Stems, leaves, and all.
