apples!

This past weekend I went apple picking with a group of my favorites. It was a glorious fall day, and the colors were perfect all around us.

Plus the wind was crisp and cool, making it the ideal temperature to wrap up in a scarf and drink hot cider!


About half way through the afternoon it was fun to observe about half of the people diligently looking up into the trees for perfect apples, while the other half were studying the ground for the perfect rotten apples to use as ammunition.

We keep each other balanced.



The lovely Miss Kate (on the right) was back for a quick visit, having recently moved to another part of the country, and it was fun having her with us for the afternoon.

And, I'll have you know, that most of those girls making funny faces together contributed really wonderful things to the apple bake-off on Sunday night. Really wonderful things...



Now just to get to work on all the apples in the fridge...

I think I see an apple pie or coffee cake in our near future!
