 Picked the final apples from the tree - I believe these are Liberty. Most are quite nice, except for the woodpecker damage on one of them! I waited a bit too long - there were more, but they had begun to drop, and the deer just stand under the tree and wait for them!

I made a new baby gift for my renters. I saw phtots of this cute star baby blanket, and tracked down a pattern to make my own from cozy fleece, which also doesn't fray and is nice and stretchy. The front has overlapping parts, so there isn't any closure needed - should be easy to get the kid in there. There's even a little hood to pull over the head, and you can use it in a car seat. Seems pretty handy, so I hope they like it!
