The Apple of my Eye

Each day, John brings an apple to school with him.  Not so much to keep the doctor away, but because he LOVES them and they are a healthy snack (nature’s toothbrush and all).

I’ve been giving him the apples we picked at Honey Pot Hill Orchards.

You may remember that we picked them the other week .  I’ve kept them in the fridge and they still taste so crisp and sweet.  Very delicious.  John loves picking apples, but I think he loves eating them even more.  My husband loves apples so much he even eats the core!

So, each day I give John an apple for lunch or snack and each day he comes home with a present for me. The seeds.  They are always wrapped in tissue paper with care to protect them on their way home.  John wants me to plant them to grow an apple tree.

But with this many apple seeds I’d have enough to grow a small orchard thanks to my very own  ‘Johnny Appleseed’!
