Apple pie aroma
wafting through
and warming up
a cool autumn day
Taste of fruitful trees
with scarlet bobs
on branches born
Must pick and not delay!
Climb, reach, grasp
Filling basket
to the top
So many more
must be picked
There’s room
So do not stop!
Time is short
The box is full
Harvest comes to end
The feast begins
Toasts are made
to Host…
to King…
and Friend!

Our sweet neighbor is unable to pick her apples. She asks us to pick her just one box and keep the rest. Wow! I am a total apple lover. We have some apple pie lovers in our house, too! I am hoping an apple a day keeps the dentist and the doctor away.

Growing up I always wanted a mother who baked apple pies….
My childhood home had an apple tree in the back garden. I loved climbing it and eating its apples! The things I wanted, but did not get, I am trying to give to our children. It is so healing!

That pie looks amazing Wendy! Lovely post 🙂
Thank you! It was gone by morning…

That pie looks absolutely delicious! I love apple-picking season… love your toast to the King! 🙂
Thank you, Melody! I am going to go eat an apple for part I of my lunch in a few minutes…

Your guys will love you for it, Kristin. Enjoy!

I love the poetry, Wendy–and my mouth is watering; I’m ready to grab a fork and dig into that pie!! What a blessing to have such a generous neighbor! What kind of apples are those? God bless you big today–love, Caddo
Thank you, Caddo! There are three different apple trees that are quite old. All I know, about the apples, is that they are delicious in flavor! The sweetest ones remind me of the Pink Lady apples we’ve bought in the stores.

This was so much fun. I think I could smell them right through the screen! 🙂 And I like that thought that an apple a day might keep the doctor and dentist away. 🙂 God bless you as you toast your King! (with apple cider!)
p.s. beautiful pie!
I am eating two a day just to be sure… 😉 Thank you for the visit!
Blessings ~ Wendy
Yum. I can attest to the yum factor of the pie.
Perhaps I could start making two at a time, since one hollow legged son is giving you a run for your share of the pie?

What a lovely ode to the quintessential fall fruit. I cannot believe I haven’t made an apple pie yet. I have a bag full of honeycrisps from my favorite orchard, and it’s supposed to be chilly tomorrow. Perhaps I’ll get the baking bug! Thanks for the inspiration 🙂
I have a hungry teenager who reminds me to bake. 😉 It’s a great way to warm up your kitchen. Thank you for your kind comment.
