Honey Crisp anticipation
Red Delicious crunch of fall
Bobbing for memories
Autumn's tart pleasures
Granny's warm pies
Another Golden promise
A hungry child's Empire
Shiny Gala of delight
The Apple of her eye

I'm new here, and time for an #introduction. My name is Billy, I'm a 60-something gay cis man living it up in the Pacific Northwest with my 16 lb Maine Coon, Lucy. Lifetime #gardener , I crochet, cook, bake, and love getting into some piggy ffun. You might say I'm good with my hands! Occasionally NSFW.
