The Eye Of My Apple

Washington’s Yakima Valley is “home” to my favorite fruit snack- the apple. What I mean is that it’s a major apple growing region, so passing through here felt like a pilgrimage.

I used to believe that the Apple Goddess (health conscious cousin of the Ice Cream Goddess) dwelt at the summit of Mt. Rainier, bestowing her blessings on those of us below. Now, I am pretty sure that her spirit lives here as well as at countless grocery stores and farmer’s markets around the world.
