Really enjoyed hearing about your bumper apple harvest ... we don't get changing autumn leaves or apple trees where I am on Grand Bahama Island, but I do love the way the web can give us peeks into each other's cyberworlds!<br /><br />Happy writing,<br />PaulaPaulahttp://www.paulasparadise.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-54167345485238733392010-10-27T05:20:30.581+01:002010-10-27T05:20:30.581+01:00Our three trees had mixed results - but plenty to ...Our three trees had mixed results - but plenty to enjoy!<br /><br />Laxtons lived in the house just beyond the vacant lot next to our house. We played baseball in the lot as kids. I hit one through their window once - ouch.<br /><br />Crumble! (Yumble!)<br /><br />My Halloween apple story:<br /><br />Kid is Trick-or-treating. First house a guy gives him a cookie in his bag. Mother says - "What do you say, Johnny?" .. kid says "Thank You." Next house a guy drops an apple in his bag. Mother says - "What do you say, Johnny?" Johnny looks in the bag - "SOB broke my cookie!"RGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017190779860810318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-67532212164359251002010-10-27T05:13:42.020+01:002010-10-27T05:13:42.020+01:00Ambrosia, fuji, and gala are my favorite types!

She used the apples to make delicious pies and apple cider. Her cider was much better than the grocery store variety.bunnitshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07762412508859521913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-36147373598503003102010-10-26T22:38:08.126+01:002010-10-26T22:38:08.126+01:00Apples and autumn:

Right, I know, needs a bit of work, but thought you'd appreciate the sentiment :) <br /><br />By the way, there's an owl in SunnyRoomStudio without a name ... and I know you'll love the guest post ... in the meantime, thanks for sharing the story of your apples ... my grandmother had 3 trees and the neighborhood children flocked to her house in the fall ... she handed out her apples in bags she'd readied for them. I have a poem or 2 about her in SunnyRoomStudio: a gem!Daisy Hickman https://www.blogger.com/profile/10537467133620826660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16542790.post-60535747480306571352010-10-26T22:25:27.992+01:002010-10-26T22:25:27.992+01:00Do the call the old ones heirloom apples there?

She did not like being the center of attention and was so mad she decided to go pick up all the apples out of the back yard until she would give herself a heat stroke. Day 1, no luck. Day 2, no luck. Day 3, no luck but she noticed that was the best she had felt in 20 years. Turned out to be a great birthday for her.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612222403725370656noreply@blogger.com
