I’m getting down to this years last 100 apples. When I started this project, I had a feeling I wouldn’t get sick of apples, and I haven’t. I love them more now. This has been a great project and I’m going to miss it. I’ve been thinking of things to do for next year. I’ve started taking photos of the sky every day and am excited to see a big grid at the end of the year. But I feel like I should try something a little more challenging. It’s nowhere near January so I’m just going to let my ideas simmer before blabbering them.

Happy Birthday to me! My friend Christy brought me a basket of apples straight from the orchard. They are Galas, Honey Crisps, and McIntoshes plus a couple of Asian Pears (Apple Pears). She also gave me bee and apple cookie cutters. Time for apple scones, me thinks.
