One of the very best things about the fall is apple picking. And even though you can start picking apples as early as July, I am of the personal opinion that apple picking should be reserved for the fall. Preferably when it is cool and crisp outside. Something we have had to wait a long time for.
But last weekend the weather was perfect. We could wear long sleeves, but jackets weren’t necessary. There was a breeze, but it didn’t make it too cold. (Although the wedding party celebrating the wedding that afternoon at the orchard may have disagreed. At least I would have if my dress had been sleeveless…) The apple cider slushies may have chilled us a bit, but they were still quite enjoyable. And it didn’t take us long to fill two bags to nearly overflowing with apples. After a tractor ride around the orchard and through the pumpkin patch, we were ready to head home and eat what dinner we could after eating apples (of course). Yummy!
Some of the grass was grown so tall around the trees, it was more like Easter egg hunting than apple picking!
Enjoying the apples…
…and the slushies!
