School has started and fall is not yet here, which means we are in that odd limbo time between seasons. There isn’t much to interest me until October, when I can fully embrace pumpkins, costumes, and spooky things. However, September is the perfect time to celebrate apples, which are newly in season. My girls and I made apple chips a few days ago, which may be one reason why apples are on my brain!
This week’s quotes about apples will feature this all-American fruit.
“The morning of the first September was crisp and golden as an apple.” ― J.K. Rowling
“Stories should be natural as apples, brief as lust, long as a thought.” ― Leonard Michaels
“I stand holding the apple in both hands. It feels precious, like a heavy treasure. I lift it up and smell it. It has such an odour of outdoors on it I want to cry.” ― Margaret Atwood
“An apple tree is just like a person. In order to thrive, it needs companionship that’s similar to it in some ways, but quite different than others.” ― Jeffrey Stepakoff
“Why not upset the apple cart? If you don’t, the apples will rot anyway.”– Frank A. Clark
And this one has to be my ultimate favorite:
“If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe.” –Carl Sagan

Glad you like them!
I love them! Now I want to make apple pie from scratch (or at least as close as possible!).
You’re skipping the invent the universe part? 🙂
Now I want to go apple pickin!!
I do not know any apple quotes when it comes to books but I do think of Snow White when I hear about apples and I can see the book cover that was brought to me as a child from Ireland.
That’s really cool! I’d love to see that!
So fun! I never knew there were so many ‘apple’ quotes …and I’m sure there are many more…LOL
!!!!! Soon he was talking more cllreay. He responded more quickly than he did when a person worked on diction. It was an unexpected benefit! Our students sure know their way around technological devices. It’s amazing. On one field trip one student with ASD wanted to borrow my cell phone to play some games on the bus ride. I didn’t know how to work the games, but they did. When I am stuck, I ask a student. It helps them know they are important and have something to contribute. Llike you said, it’s good to let them know that adults make mistakes and need to learn new things, too. I love that you did not change your spelling. Thank you for your time. Trish
