Autumn Apples
Today marks the first day of Autumn 2010. Mother nature obviously forgot to check the calendar, because the 80+ degree temperatures were definitely more characteristic of mid July than September for Northeast Ohio. We decided to celebrate this beautiful day by picking apples at a favorite local orchard. Layla picked almost all of the 20 pounds of deliciously crisp and sweet Cortlands on her own. I contributed a few to the bucket but mostly intercepted Aelyn's off-the-ground-oozy-wormy-and-not-so-good-for-eating apples before they joined the harvest. We had planned to gather another 20 pounds of Jonathans as well, but the dark clouds rolled in with thunder and lightning in tow. We thought it best to take what we had and head back to the barn before the skies let loose.

how fun! i remember going apple picking w/ ty when he was little, but have yet to do so w/ the rest of the kiddies. it seems like september weekends always fill up w/ other things before i realize i'd like to go apple picking.
i know it's supposed to be fall and all, but i'm going to be loving today's weather...hee, hee. i think God is bringing me one last summer day (He must know how much i love warm weather) before the cool weather becomes a more permanent fixture :).
Oh how much I love that orchard! We are going to go back there this Tuesday if you want to join us. Lovely photos as always my friend!
I miss apple picking, here in Florida there is no such thing but when I lived in New England we went every year, my family still does! Great pictures :)
I've never picked an apple from apple tree. There is no apple tree here but I am sure it is fun.
