Apple Tree
As I think of apples
I think of she
My mother would bake
Bake the most delicious apple pie so,scrumptious to eyes
Homemade crust with cinnamon watering in mouth never dry
Then when I was older
I took my daughter to her dad`s home town
They had an Apple Orchard
She would pick her own off tree
We would go inside they had apple cider believe
Apple preserves, apple everything had to try
We always enjoyed the trip we made and the ride
Not to mention have to take an apple cider shake couldn`t hide
On the way home she could not keep her eyes wide
Always fell asleep holing as I drive
Wake up wanting to know why it wasn`t by her side
Most certainly a favorite time of year. Beautiful blog and poetry!

I found this to be a fun and wonderful theme Diane and Todd I shall have to find a fitting poem! I’ll be back shortly!
Well hello folks and welcome. Hope all is well. The beginning of September is sort of a prelude to fall,the leaves are just starting to fall,there’s a slight hint of color change-ever so slight-and,there’s apples. lots and lots of apples.
So,with the slight change in weather,and the first preliminary crop of apples arriving,lets see what we can get into here. ‘k.:)Here goes,I’ll start it off.
Apples…..(As seen by Johnny and I )(Musings on the Travels of JohnnyAppleseed)
It was a beautiful, pleasant, September morn,not to cool and not to warm-
We awoke quite pleasantly-under a tree-in the sweet morining sun-and
autum’s gentle breeze.
Twas a journey we had afore us you know-many apples to gather-many seeds to sow.
So,with quill in my pocket,and parchment a plenty-
we set out on our journey-the first one of many.
There were hills that we crossed-all speckled with green,
there were farmhouses and orchards-very quaint-yet pristine.
There were dirt roads and highways and paths–all around-
all studded with seedlings-from Johnny’s early rounds.
As we looked back in splendor of all that we traveled-
we stood in amazement of this wonderful marvel!
For what to our sparkling eyes did appear
but a one hundred fold harvest from plantings-last year!
So,onward we traveled with joy in our soul,
we rejoiced at the bounty that God brought-many fold!
We continued our journey-of planting and writ-
and tho our journey may not be finished yet-
We both thought we saw-way in yonder sky-
The Master Planters and Suppliers
with a Twinkle….in their Eyes. 🙂

‘k. Here’s some notes and thoughts on apples and applesauce. 🙂 Does anyone remember crab-apples,crab apple jelly,spiced apples and spiced apples with ham and/or fresh pork. My grandma could make some really good crab apple jelly,it was yummy. As a kid,I remember eating applesauce with ham and pork,I also remember mom putting cinnamon and brown sugar in applesauce as well. You can use a little in a pancake batter(or as a topping),and it makes them taste really good. there’s even applesauce bread and appleasuce muffins. Apples are supposed to be a good blood-sugar regulator(according to my late-great Aunt). One of my favorite apple dishes is warm apples with a cinnamon-brown sugar like topping on them. (I guess you’d call it apple crisps). I’ll try to come up with the recepie for it in a little bit.I also like vanilla ice-cream on apple dishes.
Dried apples also are great as an everyday snack,or to take by themselves or in a trail mix when camping or hiking. There’s also….apple moonshine!

FLOWING INTO FALL
Long days slowly
fading into dusk
summer flowing
into autumn once more;
whispers of golden
and crimson leaves
easing into my days,
the green of summer
giving way again
to the brilliance of fall.
It’s hard to believe
a whole year has passed by;
just yesterday, it seems,
the leaves so green
as orchards blossomed
and erupted in pink and white,
winter snows melting,
kites soaring
in the springtime breeze.
I remember those days
when I called autumn my own,
days of summer fun
slowly winding down
as closing my eyes,
I swung so high
from the branches
of my dad’s favorite tree
the one that he planted
in the back yard so long ago.
my feet almost touching
the clouds and the sky,
ripened apples falling
to the ground
as each cloud passed by.
And I look forward again
to the shorter days of fall,
the crisp air
and clear blue skies,
perfect for heading
to the orchards,
apple-picking time once more
as we pile into the car,
the bunch of us,
with hats of straw
and bushel baskets
soon to be filled to the brim,
overflowing with golden
and red and green,
sweet fragrances of fall
that remind me once again
of those tasty treats
Mom would always bake
with the apples we picked
on the days between
the brutal heat of summer
and first winter snowflakes,
fragrant memories still flowing
upon an end-of-summer breeze.

Apples……
Apples,apples,everywhere,some are here and some are there.
Apples,apples in the pot,apples apples-are they not?
Apples cooking– smelling good,apples doing what they should. 🙂
Making every face a smile,causing visitors– to stay awhile.
Apples,come share a few. 🙂
