I got a good laugh reading about you, the Rotten Apple. I think it sounds like an honor! I too love the apples of autumn. And, shhhhh, I've been driving around Midcoast being a leaf peeper & landscape peeper myself.

I have not been able to find that same taste anywhere. It was by far my favorite apple treat. My mom's Apple pies were of course excellent but, they were so much better with a glass of apple cider.

I've always thought that it would be a a good idea to use mailboxes as a theme, esp rural ones since so many are creative. Despite loving some of the aspects of the technological age, I really mourn the loss of letters and notes in snail mail. I stubbornly continue to use it for important occasions and messages but it is a losing battle. Wouldn't your Dad be amazed at email and its use?! Apples, oh how I love them. I have been making apple sauce for my grandkids over and over this year. Our freezers are filled with cartons of it. My very favorite apple is Honeycrisp, developed by the Univ of MN. And now they have developed another apple that will be an early harvest species, which will be available in 2018. It's supposed to be firmer and closer to Honeycrisp. It is now referred to as NM 55 (or 51, I forget) but will have a new name when one is selected; wish that they would let the public try their hand at coming up with a creative name. In the meantime, I'll just enjoy the Honeycrisp!!Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.com
