A is For Apple

 

Today was apple picking day and of course I had to show you my beauties.

I've put them in a favorite blue enamel wash tub of mine until I'm ready to can them.

 

The apple tree was here when we bought the house, so I don't know what kind they are.

I am naming them 'blush'.

Because they look like they are blushing to me!

 







It taste a lot like Granny Smith apple, which just happens to be my favorite apple to eat.

 

My apple picker didn't want his photo taken.

Can you tell?

Tim picked over two bushels from this little tree.

I'm going to reward him with applesauce and a pie or two.

Sounds like a fair trade to me!

What do you think?

Applefest

 

Today, after church, we went to the neighboring Anglican church for their 'Applefest'.

Oh, was it yum!! Homemade apple pie ala mode and great company with good friends.

On the way home I spotted an apple tree loaded with these small beauties. I had to bring them home to make a bouquet. I set them in the window so you can enjoy the beautiful lake and the

sunny day with me!



I love the way the shadows are reflecting in the shade on my lamp.

This is MY chair. See my name written on it? I think I've got the best seat in the house, don't you? You notice I'm right next to the wood stove too. Someone really should've told me to remove the Kleenex off of the top of the stove before I took this shot! How yuck!

This is the only work I did today. We have had a lite frost the last two mornings, so I knew

if I wanted to salvage my geraniums, it was now or never. These have been my mainstay

flowers for years. They seem to me to be the most versatile flower out there. It's like that

little black dress, it looks good anywhere, alone or dressed up.

So how was your Sunday? Do you relax on Sundays or work on projects you didn't get done during the week? I spend most of mine lazing!
