The lure of an apple tree.

An apple tree on the shore.


This apple tree was planted by the father of my elderly next-door neighbor and is a great gathering spot for people from all walks of life.  They sit on the board walk, climb in the tree, throw the apples, play in the rocks, and some....the very brave who enjoy cold water....even go in the lake!
(My own brave family members ...Jeff, Mendi, Zach and Gavin....take a bar of Ivory soap with them and bathe in the lake.)

A second view of the tree from the front porch of Cable Cottage!
        The IU flag always flies.  Go Hoosiers!!










And people from all walks of life gather under, in front of and beyond the tree.....

This neighbor man passes in front of the tree on his way to work....and yes, the dogs go with him!

The Kayaker, under the apple tree,  launches into Lake Huron....


Destination....Round Island Light House!  This is a safe crossing as long as the Kayaker factors in the coming and going of the passenger boats. 

Brides and grooms and often large wedding parties choose to have their photos made under the apple tree. 

This family enjoys sitting under the apple tree. 

Brother teaching sissy how to skip rocks in front of the apple tree. 

The apple tree and view of Round Island Light House always seem to draw folks!
