Yesterday while I was rearranging things at my studio, I ran across an advent calendar I made about 10 years ago for my sisters. I managed, when I got home, to find my note book of “ideas for the future,” and add it to the list, along with where I would find the one in my studio. List lover that I am, I like the idea of revealing something every day.
Still thinking about lists and time and calendars, I next went to read my email, and found a message from my friend Tracey with a link to “an apple a day calendar.” Here’s what the description says:
Here’s a quick and easy way to keep in tip top shape. Just peel the little variety sticker from every apple you eat and affix it to a square. Keep it interesting. Try a Belle De Boskoop, a Newtown Pippin, how about a Peasgood Nonsuch, or maybe a Turley Winesap.
What a lovely way to celebrate apples, the seasons, and a reminder to get to the farmer’s market to see what varieties are available as the year moves along!
See the calendar, empty and partially filled in, here.
