All the other apples have been deployed, except for this lonely one standing guard in the old orchard.
This isn't a Mac it's a gravenstein,
this lonely apple just wanted to be seen.
It can get worms, even a virus,
but when it's eaten, it's good for us.
It's connection to the computer you might ask,
it brightens my desktop, it's own special task.
So off to LCPL Kyler, he's 1 of a kind.
May God Bless you and keep you in his care.
I have a few recent issues of Country and Country Extra magazines that I will be sending along with this card. There are some wonderful photos of the Palouse region of Washington and just plain all over this country of ours. LCPL Kyler can share them with his fellow Marines.
This is a photo I took in late winter, on the west side of Healdsburg, Ca. I like this photo so much that I had it enlarged and titled it, "Abandonded". I need to go for a ride that way again. This orchard and the vineyards should be beautiful right now. It's one of my favorite drives in this county.

Fantastic photograph! It has an ethereal quality to it... and I can see why you have it on your desktop. Your card is beautiful, and the sentiment really says it all. Kyler will love it and the magazines.
