Lots of Apples a Day!

baskets and bowls of apples from our yard


I'm taking three at a time to school each day.
and
serving up apple crisp on a routine basis.

How about this idea that I found on Pinterest?
an apple pie in an apple!


These apple cupcakes are adorable.
but no real apples needed...
just smiles that say
thank you!


Actually,
I could make them with an apple cake recipe!
Gotta use up our apples!

I'm visiting my dad this weekend.
A sister's weekend with our Dad.
I'll be bringing him
a bag of apples
for sure!

Happy Weekend Everyone!
Wishing you sunshine
especially in your
heart.

  7. Goodness me, what delightful baking! Mine in comparison is so feeble. However, I must say, I've recently done a lot of apple compote, and added a touch of ginger, delightful! Yours is making my moth water! LOL. Hugs, Lori xxx

  9. Maria - you are so creative with your baking and everything always makes my mouth water! Love that "apple" apple pie. I've been eating Honeycrisp apples every day while they're in season. (Sometimes with a dab of peanut butter.) Enjoy your time with Sis and Dad.

  16. Oh my precious friend Maria,

    Thank you for your kind words and for coming to visit me. Dearest, you know, the conversation you had with your daughter about our careers, well this subject has been coming up more between me and my dear colleagues and me and my husband. My days have been emotionally stressful and a rollercoaster ride. If I could, i would make a change NOW. And yesterday, in the middle of a stressful moment, my fabulous colleague (from a totally different faith all together) gently reminded me ( I just asked her how she copes) that she has seen WORST situations in the education system and that she is just grateful that she is able to let things roll off her back....I had to ask God to forgive me for my complaining, and I must continue my awkward dance from a different perspective if I am going to (NO, AS I AM GOING TO ) survive RTI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! teehee....

    THANK YOU FOR YOU encouragement and sweet friendship; these are the things that keep us going.

    BISOUS, Anita
