SOMETIMES IT’S THE SIMPLE THINGS IN LIFE
THAT MAKE YOU SMILE OR CLAP YOUR
HANDS TOGETHER LIKE A LITTLE CHILD.
Today, on this rainy, cold, California day
we picked our first crop of apples from our
tiny, gallon container, Granny Smith apple tree.
Tonight, we’ll celebrate
with a bottle of
Trader Joe’s Finest Red
a wedge of French Brie
and a fresh Baguette...
and call it dinner.
Because it’s the little things.
the breaking of bread
the laughter of friends
or a tiny seed that becomes a tree
that produces such beautiful, edible things
that sustain and nurture us.
HOW WILL YOU CELEBRATE TODAY?

How wonderful! Your first apple crop should be celebrated~
I'll celebrate today by hunkering down during this big storm, gazing outside at the blowing trees and pouring rain. I'll smile and thank God that I can enjoy it!
I'm so excited for you!! Wish I could be there for a taste. I actually love brie with green apple slices on a sandwich - yum. Tonight we will go to our friends for our weekly game night and the best part is my daughter is home and will be joining us. Be sure to let us know how the apples taste!
It really is amazing when you can pick your own home grown produce isn't it Cynthis ?
I wouldn't mind sitting down with you to eat that wonderful combination.
Enjoy the fruits of your labours and have a glass for me. XXXX
Beautiful photograph!! Cynthia, you're going to crack up.....I have an almost identical breadboard and knife that my mom brought me from England!!! I hope you enjoyed your lovely apples, wine and cheese : )
How great is that .......that you raise your own apples......I raise oranges.....wanna' swap? (O:(O:(O:
Have a wonderful weekend,

I'm raising tomatoes - it's a shorter wait! Your apples look wonderful! Such a pretty photo.Enjoy.
How adorable they are and you have pictures! Have you tried TJ's Chariot Gypsy? The 06 was the best I have 2 bottles left but the later years are ok too. Great everyday...my fave and guests try to steal bottles home.... : D

How wonderful!
Having a fruit tree is such a gift. I'm thrilled that our new home has a peach tree. :-)
Hugs, my friend!

We are getting a RARE rain tonight...that is worth a celebration.
It has been SO DRY in Southeast Texas in the past months...we need EVERY OUNCE of rain we can get.
It's chilly outside...but warm and comfortable inside or Victorian Rose Cottage.
Your apple photo is delightful.

It's like seeing your kids graduate from college! Little apple seed is all grown up now!
Don't you love having fresh fruit in December. It doesn't get much better. Enjoy! Hugs, Riki
Perfect supper to go with the first crop! Although the apples look more like russet's to me!

We're actually hitting the movies so popcorn will be on the menu for us.
Love the new header photo!

Beautifully styled.
Now I so agree...that is cause for celebration...I so would love a crisp apple from a tree right now.
Sending you oodles of Joy for a blessed week ahead of you. xooxoxoxoxoo
Thank you so much for all the sweet comments you always leave me. xo
Beautiful photo. Although the knife looks like it could use a bit of a hone... LOL
Congrats on 150! You missed a good show the other night...
