Apple leaves hanging on

I have been admiring the bright yellow of the remaining leaves on the apple tree this week.  A little bit of cheer in a fairly difficult week:  LPA paperwork, mom's confusion and feeling fairly horrible with a cough, cold and nasty nasty eczema.  Sitting doing not very much now.  I know a lot of other people are suffering with this cough - it really is a violent wheezy barking one.
