Leave a little for nature...

or all of it when it looks like this:

Nature photo of the day: apples in the orchard.

this year
the apples are no good for juicing
they aren't fit for jams in jars either
forget the chutney
toss out the notion of fresh fruit
saved in the cellar
there will be none of that
this year
apples are shriveled and worn
as if April came early
the red knobs are small and rough
toughened by the sun
hard…
