Apple of my Eye

Last weekend, while I was working at the food coop, I saw apple after beautiful apple. The MacIntosh ones were especially red and delicious looking, so when I got my 5 minutes for quick shopping, I headed straight for produce and picked out 4 perfect apples. Each day last week, I enjoyed one of the apples for lunch or for my after-work snack while waiting for the bus, and each apple was perfectly divine.

Before I worked & shopped at the coop, I knew there were green apples and a few varieties of red apples... Now, I'm becoming familiar with different types of apples and learning about which ones are really good for you (red delicious) and how macs are good to get through the fall... After spending a few days bragging about apples (yes, I even told friends the other night at a house party... These apples have swept me off my feet!), Seth decided he was going to find the best apple too. Above is a photo of his 0.94 pound Jonagold apple. I had to snap a photo this morning before it got packed in his lunch. I don't know how he's going to eat the whole thing... I get my filling of apples the size of the smaller one beside it (normal size).

[I just peeked over at lens.us.together to see what the theme was for this week, and without knowing it, I shot my photo to meet the new theme! Fall fruits must be on more minds than just mine!]
