In the Fruit Maven household, 2011 has been a tumultuous year full of hard things and delightful things.  There have also been many confusing things somehow coinciding with great clarity. So I end this year a little tired, but full of hope for 2012. I thought I would wrap things up in the spirit of my year, with some crazy fruit quotes that while they make no real sense to me, somehow make me smile. Enjoy and feel free to decipher them.

There are many who throw stones at a red apple.

There is a lot more juice in grapefruit than meets the eye.

If an ox doesn’t know the size of his arse he won’t eat an apricot stone.

Man is like a banana: when he leaves the bunch, he gets skinned.

He’s hardly a sour grape, yet behaves like a raisin.

I also wanted to send you off with an end of the year blessing from me to you. I am so honored you visit here and truly treasure every single reader.
