I don't believe that there were any fruit trees at the Buchanan house so they must have bought them.Charley "Apple" Grabowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193646109965731249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-80637181731728184042010-11-25T21:03:22.966-05:002010-11-25T21:03:22.966-05:00When I think how many Orchard Streets and Orchard ...When I think how many Orchard Streets and Orchard View Roads I've been on in MIchigan, how many apples I've picked or remember Fruitport and Apple Avenue I suspect more than a few West Michiganders heeded Mr. Arnold's words.Susan Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02009218875010743399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-19237385572154079792010-11-22T09:17:44.534-05:002010-11-22T09:17:44.534-05:00Apple, I love your choice of poem!

In general, like you I'm not inclined toward poetry myself, but I learn so much participating in this challenge, both on the posting end and on the reading end. I'm glad Bill nudges me off my spot, and being a Michigan native, I'm glad he nudged you off yours too.TKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14556045553534725632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4333078797879411990.post-37652095540428975922010-11-18T19:45:05.464-05:002010-11-18T19:45:05.464-05:00Wouldn't it be fun to learn that your ancestor...Wouldn't it be fun to learn that your ancestors actually DID have an apple orchard?! I wonder if an agricultural census would tell you.
