Happy Fall! It’s the first Monday of Fall! So hard to believe! When it turns fall I think of cozy sweaters, nice warm socks, jeans and apples!
Can you believe I’ve only gone apple picking twice in my life? I think that’s crazy for someone who grew up in mid-New York State apple growing country! I had so much fun! Have you gone apple picking before?
I was totally surprised my boys were so in to our little family field trip. They got right in there and chose good ones to pull off the trees. It helped that we chose a few trees with apples at their arm level. And the amount of apples…tons! I mean TONs of apples! I admit I was a little apprehensive going picking with my 5 year old who many times wants ‘uppy’, but he did great even though we had to walk a ways in to the orchard to get to the current fruit-bearing trees.
For you locals, we went to G and S Orchards in Walworth, a quick, pleasant drive. (No this is not a paid promotion, simply sharing where we went because we liked it!) The young ladies manning the station we went to were so helpful pointing out where to go and giving technique advice. We also picked some strawberries (at the end of the season around here.)
Hubby and I think this will be a new tradition…along with making oodles of applesauce, many dishes of apple crisp and apple pies!
