Organic Apples from our 2 Apple trees - Empire and Golden Delicious
We had a very good apple harvest this year. Over 200 Empire and Golden Delicious apples from our 2 dwarf apple trees that we planted about 10 years ago. We paid about $30 for each tree and get hundreds of delicious home-grown organic apples each year.
We do not use any insecticides or sprays so many of the apples have spots and blemishes. But this year most of the apples were perfect. Not sure why ....

"Consumers all across the globe are paying an extremely high price for electricity. And in some cases, due to pervasive blackouts and rolling brownouts, the supply of continuous grid-based electricity is never assured.
But now, thanks to rapid strides in Photovoltaic (PV) technologies of late, there has been a significant fall in the prices of solar panels. This is now fueling talk that Solar air conditioner users will soon have solar grid parity. This means that, in the near future, they will have the ability to produce solar electricity at the same price as conventional power. I firmly believe that future is already here. We don’t have to wait any longer because off-grid solar parity has been with us a long time. Our solar air conditioner makes the dream of a green revolution come true for everyone!
Ours is not just a solar powered “cooling box”. When you buy a solar air conditioner from Kingtec, we provide you with a completely sustainable energy-powered solution. When you choose one of Kingtec’s many solar AC models, you get with it a solution that’s inspired by AC technology that you already know and respect. Many of the components used in the Kingtec range have been in use since 2009 in heavy-duty long-haul vehicles. Truckers and RV users in some of the most rugged terrain have tested these components and given us a resounding 2-thumbs up!
And with our durable, practical and efficient designs, you get solar ACs that are easier to install, convenient to operate, require next to no maintenance, and provide a cost effective alternate to other grid-tied solutions.
So, with our solar air conditioner, not only are you able to dramatically reduce your Co2 footprint, but you will also dramatically reduce you electricity bills! "

Fall colours along the Rideau River near Manotick Ontario in Canada
I'll post more as the colours change. As you can see, this part of Canada is beautiful during the month of October.
The weather changes dramatically in the coming weeks and I'll document these changes through photography and short films posted to the Youtube Channel.
