apple picking

Fall is definitely here! The leaves have sort of started to turn colors but not in a way that I really notice. Or perhaps now that I spend all of my time commuting around the city, rather than driving out to the boondocks on a daily basis I just don't see many trees anymore? I went apple picking today at a great orchard about half-way between where I live now and where I used to work. Apple season came early this year so there weren't as many apples to pick from as there were last year or the year before. I still found a ton of apples and am planning on making apple sauce, apple crisp, apple cake and other apple treats until apples come out of my ears.


The apple orchard also has "pick and chop" Christmas trees. They smelled great but it was a little weird picking apples while surrounded by Christmas trees.
I think this was where Charlie Brown got his tree!
