    Simple Sundays

    I stopped at the farm market and picked up some apples this week. Gala apples.

    I'll be honest here. I normally don't buy Gala apples.

    I normally buy Golden Delicious apples. I love Golden Delicious. I have dreams about Golden Delicious. Golden Delicious apples are like candy to me.

    Did I make it clear that I LOVE Golden Delicious apples?

    But you know what? The skin on the Golden Delicious just doesn't shout Fall to me. It's a little spotty and a weak blah yellow color.

    So I bought apples that I don't love. That I don't have dreams about. Because they would look better in this bowl when I photographed them for my Fall porch vignette.

    I feel like I've cheated on my favorite apples because they weren't pretty enough.

      LOL! My husband absolutely loves golden delicious too so that is normally what we buy but I'm totally with ya on the Gala's just looking much more "Fall". Oh, the things we sacrifice for beauty, right? 😉
