nature's pruner

My crab apple tree did not lose a single branch during the recent snow storm. Not only did it survive, but it is thriving! Every branch is bursting with little apples eager to edge each other out. I saw this squirrel manically jumping from limb to limb to eat its fill. At first I was a little huffy thinking it was robbing me, but then I realized it was just pruning so the actual harvest would be good.
