Freshly picked apple bunting...

Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only
God can count the number of apples in a seed.

Do you ever sit and marvel at the beauty of nature?  Its delicate balance and the spectacular views that it brings us season after season fill me with awe.

Like the beautiful apple tree whose blossoms in the spring are nothing but breathtaking; In the summer as birds need a home, they welcome them into their branches while lending shelter from the sun.  In the fall, we gather their harvest of delicious jewel like fruits and in the winter, the lingering fruits provide food for the hungry animals.

If you follow me on Facebook, you might know that the kiddies and I went apple picking last week.  We enjoyed a beautiful fall day while wearing shorts and t-shirts as the weather has been unusually warm for this time of year.

With some of the apples, I wanted to add a little whimsy to our Thanksgiving Day - which we celebrated yesterday here in Canada.

I decided to make a sweet little bunting out of fresh apples.

 It not only looks so beautiful, but has such a wonderful scent...

Take a medium eye hook and pierce
into the apple leaving the eye visible.

Take some twine and thread through each hook and tie a single knot.

 Once in place, push the eye hook all the way into the apple as shown...

Tie a ribbon to the twine or leave as is and.....

Display and marvel at your own creation...

I found that some of the apples were a little heavy and the hook would not stay in place, so I simply tied the twine right to the stem and then attached them with the ribbon...

I think it looks so tender...

We had a very quiet Thanksgiving since hubby was away on a business trip, so we will be celebrating Thanksgiving next week.  But I think Thanksgiving should be celebrated every day as God pours his blessings over us with each passing day.

I am so happy that you came and I hope that you enjoyed your time here as well.

much love,

Lucy
