One of the things that I have enjoyed about living here is the awesome orchard within a ten minute drive. In the summer we picked delicious peaches and now we're into apple and pear season. They have many different varieties but we chose to stay within the safety of the Golden Delicious variety.Notice the beautiful fall foliage in the background. It is up on a hill so you can look down the hill and see all kinds of gorgeous colors.
Matthew making a goofy face. He was actually very helpful and picked most of the apples and carried the bag all by himself.
Corinne only picked a few apples but spent most of her time sampling the produce. (Don't worry--they allow taste tests.) We have made a few apples pies, an apple cake and just snacked on fresh yummy apples the past week. We also picked a few pears and are waiting for them to ripen. Although I'm not eager for the cold to come, I do enjoy the feel of fall: the nip in the air, the seasonal desserts, and of course. . . Halloween!
