What do you do when you find a really big apple?
(Like this one, located on the highway
between Montreal and Toronto.)
Well, you should pick it up and put it into a big apple basket.
(This one is at the Longaberger Homestead in Frazeysburg, Ohio.)

After you’ve gorged yourself on pie, then what??!!
Hi Jama,
I love all these apple posts. I actually grew up near Hilton and have been to the Apple Festival. It’s a very upstate NY thing to do and is great fun!
I am now off to copy the pancake recipe, as I plan to make it for dinner tonight!

I am bummed! For some reason your posts aren’t showing up on my friends page. At least I can get to them from your page though. Hmm. Wonder what’s up with that.

I’ve had that happen too — I don’t get all my friends’ posts, and then a day or two later, I get a backlog of their stuff.
