"Is Autumn here yet?" Friday Features

Today was the first day that we have had a cooler temperature in my neck of the woods; it almost felt like fall!  I am soooo thinking of the autumn season and anticipating it!!  I am finished with the heat of summer, although I know there will probably be a few more hot days.  This first day of coolness, has encouraged me more to dream of autumn!  See what I found from some of the members of the Blogging Business Artisans Team:

Friday Features: An Apple a Day

There are a few theories on where the giving an apple to your teacher originated.  They range from the fact that teachers were poorly paid and the farmers would send in one of their popular crops with their child to school, to it's known as the Fruit of Knowledge in Judaic religions - from the story of Adam and Eve.

I heard of a different term when I was a child, but apparently back in the day a child who gave an apple to the teacher was often teased by other children with the name apple-polisher.

Today our grocery store shelves are filled with a multitude of apples in many colors.  I went searching on Etsy with those colors in mind.
