U is for Uninvited

U is for uninvited.

A friend recently gave me a basket of apples. The basket wasn't full, and the apples weren't premium quality, but the kids and my mother have been enjoying them. We'd set the bushel basket of them inside the basement door about halfway down, on the landing, because it's cool and dark there. Yesterday afternoon I discovered one of the apples had been sampled. Today I discovered whoever made a meal of the forbidden fruit Sunday night, had returned for seconds last night. Apparently some folks eat and poop in exactly the same spot. Ew.

  1. I really like your title... Guess you better wash those apples good to make a pie. HaHa.

    1. Yeah, I was thinking the same thing! But, for sanitary reasons we try to keep the kitties out of the basement. Oreo is always eager to go down if he sees an opportunity, like me not closing the door.

  3. Oh man! Ugh! Why don't you try cooking them into an applesauce or some sort of dessert.

  4. Such a pity to throw these apples away. You can cook them as everybody suggests.

    1. Rachel, is that all you have to say?
      Ah, maybe I should toss a few outside tot he squirrels...

  7. That was the first thing that came to my mind. Do squirrels eat apples that have been pooped on?

    1. Well, mice do. It's completely gone this morning. (The one apple, that is.) The entire thing lasted him 3 days. They're not all pooped on/in. And the other would be washed before I tossed them outside.

    2. At least he finished the one he started and didn't take a bite out of several.

  8. I don't mind feeding the wildlife, but sometimes they get a bit annoying!

  9. Oh! What a loss!
    The best part is it didn't try to taste all of them.

    1. He's working on it. Got 2 more started this morning. (I know, there is something wrong with me letting him do that...)
