The Farm Report

For Beth (because one apple is not enough)

Shep is a little obsessed with fruit these days. It’s a little weird, but I’m holding out on therapy for the moment due to the huge increase in our produce bill.

He likes to carry around lemons and stuff them into his little airplane as passengers. He fills his arms with apples and loads them into the back of his pick-up truck. His first stop in the morning is the refrigerator to unload the fruit drawer. Not since bagels and crayons have I seen him have such a comfort item.

I met up with friends from college today, as Carole, Beth, and Becky drove down to meet Anne’s new baby, Ronan. (I completely forgot the camera, so you’ll have to trust me when I say we all looked like supermodels and the kids were super-cute.) While I was catching up with Beth, she asked me if Shep was still as in love with apples as he was when we visited her mom’s house in October.

I think the answer is pretty clear.
