September 9

One day last week (or at least I think it was last week), I picked several apples from the tree in our yard, sliced them up, and put them in a bowl in the fridge, thinking the boys could snack on them for the next few days. I was surprised when Brady came home from school and ate the entire bowl's worth in a single sitting.

Since the tree's still producing and the boys are still consuming, I cut up another six apples this afternoon and put them in the refrigerator. This time, Brady actually left a few slices in the bowl. (Although I'm guessing he'll polish those off before school tomorrow.)

So today, I'm grateful for our little apple tree, which produces truly sweet and tasty apples for us to enjoy.
