Winesap from 110-year-old tree. Not quite a Goldenbark Apple, but it’ll do. (IT IS DELICIOUS OMG)

The author of the post holds a one winesap apple, freshly picked from 110 year-old tree. A bite has been taken out of it. The apple tree provides the backdrop.

Amazon review of "Assassin's Creed: Heresy" which features historical wimp, Joan of Arc. I laughed SO. HARD. (He posted his full name, I spared him here.)
