The apple orchards of the Blue Ridge Mountains are some of the best when you want fresh and delicious apples. We like making a trip to Hendersonville, North Carolina where there are dozens of beautiful orchards to choose from.

It seems that most everyone has a favorite apple and more varieties are being grown. My choice is Honey Crisp because the texture is just right and they live up to their name. It is hard to find anything but the super size of these apples in the markets, so you need to have someone to share it with.

I recently read that apples can contribute far more to our good health than was previously determined. New evidence links an apple a day to keeping skin young looking and other desirable anti-aging benefits. 

What's your favorite apple?

Sweet, tart, red and juicy are the best words to describe one of my favorite fruits. My mom used to buy lots of fruit when we were growing up and I always loved plums. We had wild plums growing in our yard, but they were really small like cherries and only good for cooking and making plum jelly or jam.

It's hard to believe we are approaching the end of January and the completion of the thirty paintings challenge. It has been great and I have seen so many wonderful paintings from all the artists.

All of you who follow my blog know that I love stripes and use them frequently in my paintings.

These orange bites called for one of my favorite kitchen towels to be placed under them.

It must be a good season for citrus because the oranges and grapefruits are wonderful and sweet.

These Cara Cara oranges are my favorite. They are a deep pinkish on the inside and are seedless with low acidity.  Oranges really get me through the winter and keep me going strong so I am glad to have discovered these.
