Wooden bowl of fruit sitting on the table. Cradled inside, one lonely apple, three overly ripened bananas, a cluster of plump grapes,and four Navel oranges. I think I’ll have the apple as a snack. The bananas need to be baked into bread. The grapes and oranges can wait another day. What a way to start a day, drinking coffee, and counting fruit. Thinking of the days chores that need to be started.
