Georgia O' Keefe's " Apple Blossoms "

Although there is snow on the ground where I live, it's nearly Apple Blossom time in Winchester,VA -- Patsy Cline's home town. I am certain Patsifans have seen the fabulous photographs of Patsy from the Apple Blossom parades and love them as much as I do. Patsifans are already making thier plans to attend the festivities planned for this year. This week marks the 38th anniversary of Patsy's premature and tragic death. In memory of Patsy, why not send a friend who is not yet Patsified a tape or CD of her music. And for you , as you remember Patsy and listen to her music, why not fix yourself this " apple " inspired drink( if you're of legal age, of course!), or fry up a batch of these delicious "golden" Apple Fritters.
