Last fall Hedge Apples littered the forest path where I was walking.  In the past I’ve gathered them to store in the corner of a shed to discourage mice. It didn’t work. Now I gather them to study their pattern. And just as Dr. Seuss’ Horton heard a “Who”, I expect to hear them too. The hedge ball or apple becomes a world unto itself floating in space.
