Here is another fun activity Adam and I did over his break: apple picking! I had been every kinda fruit pickin' you can think of-- except apple pickin'! The place we went was called Johnson's Orchard. When we drove up we quickly got out of the car and paid to start picking because it looked like the sky would start pouring rain any minute. It held off just long enough for us to pick half a bushel-- that equals about 3 X's more apples than I know what to do with! I will be sharing a few apple recipes soon that these pretty little apples were used in. Enjoy the pictures!
This was a HUGE crate of apples that the workers had been picking.
I love this picture :) Look at all the apples on the trees behind us!
See the John Deere tractor in the background?
Here is our half-bushel...
and my man :) in the rain.
This is where you paid for the apples.
Inside they sold LOTS of jellies, jams, and butters.
The lady sitting down was peeling and chopping apples. From the pile she had it looked like she had been there a while!
Thanks for reading today friends! Love ya!
Guess you don't remember picking apples off your own tree lol!
ReplyDeleteThey look delicious and know you made a great pie from them.
Theses apples look delicious! I just made two homemade apple pies this weekend for our cousins visiting and they told me my apple pies were the best they had ever eaten. My cousin Mark said I always thought my moms was the best but now I have had one better. I was so flattered but I told them I have a new sweet daughter-in-law Maria who is a fabulous cook and she can probably make one better! I would love to pick some of theses apples.
