Are They Fermenting?

10-28-2008

All the leaves are gone from this decorative apple tree. Fruit remains for the birds and squirrels. The picture reminded me of a story my Dad use to tell. He grew up in Iowa and he said on the farm they had a pig that loved to drink the juice that drained from the silo after if was filled, it would quit eating completely and only drink the juice that was found in pools. After consuming the juice he would stagger around the pasture and eventually find a sunny spot to sleep the effects off, after waking he would resume drinking. He did not return to food until the fermented juice had dried up.
