A Picnic Under the Apple Blossoms

It happened! This morning, while everyone was snuggled into their pillows, the apple blossoms unfolded themselves and filled the morning air full of sweet fragrance! What a surprise to look out the window this morning and to be greeted with such an enthusiastic bloom!


It then only seemed appropriate to celebrate by enjoying an evening under the blossoms! We anxiously awaited for the Apple Farmer to arrive home to join us in eating dinner, or as the people in Missouri call it, supper!


It was a perfect evening! We enjoyed the sweetly scented air, and the music from the leaves in the lower wind break, gently rustling together. The dinner conversation was enjoyable as was listening to the chatter of the birds.

We chose to make one of our favorite pasta salads with a side of homemade french bread! The salad is full of our favorite veggies, olives, grated cheese and diced salami. We toss it with an Italian dressing made from a package mix. Yummy!

How ideal. You know, you really should make your blog into a book. (I think the term is 'slurp'.) My sister does it once a year and says they are easy and fun to look back on. You would have such a compellation of moments like this one and many happy memories. I'm not so sure my book would be as full of moments like you have since we live in the boring ol' suburbs. (Sigh)
