horse apples!

many of you may not have heard of horse apples before, (they're also evidentally called osage oranges, though i just learned that one a little bit ago), so this is a horse apple: they're from big trees, and they smell rather okay (at least they don't rot too fast), so we collect them from a house along our walk from afton's school. they make great toys, and we love them. that is all. ;)



please excuse the binky, he had just woken up from a nap


there's not too much sound in this video, but you can see that despite out postage stamp sized backyard, the kids still find plenty to do to play with these little balls. (and despite the fact that they have a million other balls they play with too... these are new and therefore far more special)

clearly, we love our horse apples.
