Yours for the taking

My husband demands that I gather all the apples that drop down as he is afraid there will be rodents coming to eat them - never mind the cat that lurkes around. I wanted to save some for the birds and here they are, ready for birds to pick up. There are apples on the tree, too, so it might be that my construction doesn´t interest birds much but the apples look good so I´ll let them be. One pedestrian walked his dog by our garden and he almost wrung his neck trying to figure out how the apples stay in the air - you can't see the pole when looking from afar!
