Ripe or not

2/9/2018

I love walking down the orchards in the slow warm breeze. All the fruit sparkles in the sunlight. We walk down every few days to check on whether the apples and pears are getting ripe.

Here is a piece of information about how you find out if an apple is ripe. These are the two apples I am showing you. The big one in my right hand is a Saturn and the small one is a Discovery.

Here is one way. You have to cut an apple into two equal pieces so you can see the star shape in the middle (core). Then you look at what colour the seeds are and if they are fully black it means that it is ripe and if it is white and brown it needs a little bit more time to ripen in the sun. Here is a example.

I think Discoveries are delicious and really cool because they are red inside as well as outside. Yummy!!!

This is the last time I am going to talk about this. I still feel happy when I see that girl smile. I have been worried sick for weeks. I have no idea what's happening to her. All I know is that she is very busy and she is just being her usual distant self. She stopped talking to me and I can't help but blame myself for everything but if we are to look at the big picture, she is being mistaken. She thought it's for the best. She had no idea how much she is losing by just being far away from me. I thought we were sources of each other's strength.
