Welcome to The Apples In My Orchard, A Reflective Blog (under reconstruction)
When the time came to name this blog in 2017, we had planted and nurtured a thirty-tree fruit orchard in our yard for ten years. During that time, while also raising three boys with my husband, and nurturing a small segment of our local school-aged population, I came to see the apples as not the fruits themselves, but rather the result of my care and nurturing. Thus, the title of my blog is metaphorical – symbolizing my life and inclusive of those who grew alongside me as part of my family & community.
