Monday, 31 October 2005 - Honey crisp apples

Dear God:

Today, I am thankful for honey crisp apples.

They are my very favorite eating apples, organically grown in Paonia by Austin Farms. Because they are early season apples, they must survive autumn's initial hard frosts and hail. This year, a hail storm damaged most of the crop. Still, I managed to buy about 10 pounds one week - just about all that the grower could salvage. He says that the rest will be pressed into cider (which I also buy).

For this blessing, I am grateful.

Amen.
