Simple Pleasures are the Best!

This fall treat yourself: spend a crisp, golden day at an apple orchard. Reach up into a tree laden with candy red apples and give it a hard twist. Rub that apple on your sleeve until shiny and fragrant and then sink your teeth into that fresh fruit, licking the juices as they run down your chin. Apples… so elementary, so deliciously rewarding. Simple pleasures are the best!
