This is my silliest attempt to attract birds so I can capture them. But no sparrows or blackbirds are paying any attention to the Golden Apple I hung on a string. Maybe, a hummingbird would bail me out, but none of them in sight either. I think I am going to invest in a bird feeder.

However, Golden Apples should be eaten and not hung on strings. A friendly neighbor dropped a very big bag of these luscious treats for my aunt this morning. And yes, I love every apple. I love the ripe ones peeled and salted. The green ones, I love them cut into pieces and pickled. But when I was a kid we would crack them by hitting them on the pavement. Yup, the Golden Apple was a real treat at the beach.
