An apple (or two or three) a day

Think about a teacher's desk. What is the one thing you think of that may be sitting on a teacher's desk? What iconic image comes to mind? If you said an apple, you get a gold star next to your name. It seems a teacher always has an apple on his/her desk (this was especially the case in the old days). This year I have several students who bring me an apple every day. For a while I would eat them as the students brought them, but I soon tired of eating two or three apples every morning. Since that time I have been tossing the excess apples in my drawer. Look below to see how they've piled up. Lord knows I've tried to eat them all, but the apples just keep coming and coming.
