Saturday, the 21st of September, dawned nice and bright. It was a day for apple picking or so I was told- the leaves would be just turning they said and perhaps a cool breeze blowing.
In the midst of a lot of homework, I ran to the Phelps Gate from where our expedition was scheduled to start. Supposed to start by 9:15, I just about managed to reach the place before time. When you want it there was no shuttle to be seen and so my journey to the Gate was on foot. Clocking valuable steps on the watch, I did my bit.
A few willing drivers with cars were waiting all ready to take us to the Apple orchards.
I have never seen apple trees up close so this was a first experience for me.
A 30 minute car drive to the orchards and we were there.
Reading people’s blogs helped me identify these little ones- so like baby apples.
Susie, how I love this post…and your photograph is so pretty…thanks for including the portrait of you amid the apple trees. Aren’t apples beautiful? I’m so glad you had this experience. Apples are one of my favorite fruits to eat, and they are crafted into so many good foods…juices, applesauce, pies, baked apples, etc. The best way to eat them though is right off the tree. I’m smiling because it makes me happy to think of you in an apple orchard. Kathy

Oh thank you, Kathy- was going to send you an email this weekend but now that I read this, maybe a few days later.
I am glad you love apples too. I went for the experience- my husband would have loved the apples.
