I see some apples hanging on the old and twisted tree, the Gravenstein you planted so many years ago. It has been ailing lately, without your loving care when its tasty fruit was made into the pies that you loved so. The tree and I are slowing down and pies produced are few; but the tree still tries so I will bake and eat and think of you. Joyce August 4, 2009 |

Dear Joyce: A lovely, nostalgic poem. I have lots of apples this year on my Granny Smith and the red delicious but I am not getting too excited, as either the deer or the bears usually get them the minute they are ready! We haven't had a pie off of either tree for about 4 years now! Love Betty Lou Betty Lou Hebert |

Joyce, I really love this one - it makes me want to drop by so you can teach me how to make a good pie crust. I bake pretty well. But, I can not master the art of pie crusts. xoxox Alison |

naked Thoughts, Trillium and Alison, thank you for reading and commenting. Alison I wish you would stop by and I would teach you my mama's secrets. She was the world champion and I come in pretty close. Love, Joyce |

I bet you make some delicious pies, Joyce. That is something my mother never did. Therefore, I never learned either. but, it was something I had wanted to learn. Now, there is no one to make pies for. |
