Apple Picking


(Our Bounty)

I've heard in these parts that a big part of fall time is going apple picking. Today James and I had some free time to get out on the bike and go out and try this festive activity. We picked a small orchid, but it had numerous types of apples: Gala, McIntosh, Honey crisp, Red Delicious and many more. We took home a peck, which is 10 lbs. of apples, the smallest you can take. To get to where the apples are you park your car (or in our case the motorcycle) at the farm stand and then they give you a hay ride out to the orchid. The best part was trying different apples as we walked along. Neither of us knew much about apples, but we got a good lesson today. It felt like being in the garden of Eden; picking from such an abundant selection.
