A is for Apple and the kick off for the A to Z April Challenge! But seriously, from your first days of school, and the beginning of your reading career: A is for Apple, so it here that I will start wandering through April with random thoughts, topics and ideas - sorry, it doesn't look as if there will be a sensible theme to tie this together nicely (I'll leave that for more experienced writers, and those who have planned).
So, I go into the local Co-op with a friend and start taking photos of the
apples in the produce section; yes I got a few strange looks and a couple joking comments, I only wish I was quick enough to reply with a witty April Fool's joke, sadly I wasn't... They look great don't they? Now wouldn't you like a nice, juicy, crisp apple?
Since we were on a roll, we stopped to admire this lovely
apple tree, leaf buds getting ready to come out. My friend actually has a small orchard, and we fleetingly thought perhaps we should be back at the farm, since the pruning is not yet done! His apple orchard is a glorious place, he planted each young tree long ago. It sits at the top of the hill, above the hay field, it has a lovely view. Many seasons of apples, laughter and memories keep a happy spirit alive there where the deer come to eat, and the hawks soar above, waiting for the people to come enjoy the blossoms and then the bounty.

Yum! Now I want a Granny Smith apple to bite into. Doesn't an apple pie sound good also. Fun post!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you, it has to be apple! I no longer have my son baby's books but I'm sure all of them say apple. In fact I just asked Digital (my son) "when I say A, what 1st word came to your mind?" He simple said, "apple." I rest my case ;)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, maybe an impromptu survey would be fun! Cool name BTW :-) thinking you must have an interesting blog, but not sure how to find it (can you say newbie?)
ReplyDeleteYummmmy. Fuji apples are my fave. :D The best apples are from Washington State, IMHO.
