An Apple A Day...

I like this sign that’s displayed in a neighbor’s yard, yet they don’t sell apples, and apple trees do not grow in their yard. Perhaps they just like the sign too. It says Fall to me • Maine’s Apple Sunday was last weekend. Over 100 varieties are grown here. The most common variety in New England is McIntosh. It originated in Ontario more than 200 yrs. ago • Did you know it takes 36 apples to make one gallon of cider, or 2 lbs. to make a 9-inch pie? • An apple never falls far from the tree; You’re the apple of my eye; The forbidden fruit; One rotten apple spoils the barrel • What’s your favorite way to eat apples: fresh & whole, in a pie, cider or juice, applesauce, jelly or tell me! • Keep that doctor away!
