    Last Monday, we did something I said I would never do again...
    Apple Picking.  
    The last time we went was five years ago.
    It was 90 degrees.
    The Colonel was working.
    I had to carry two huge bags of apples.
    The kids were no help.
    I had a miserable time. 
    But life goes on and a certain somebody asked to go again...
    Michael.
    Beautiful farm...

    Beautiful mums...

    Beautiful barn...

    Beautiful red and green apples...

    Beautiful Colonel...

    Beautiful Son...

    Beautiful friends and a great mom...

    This time it was PERFECT.
    The Colonel was home.
    The weather was beautiful.
    And I didn't have to carry the boxes of apples.  
    I had the best time. 
     
    Well, except for the bus ride to get to the orchard, but I won't go there, okay?
      
    I can't wait to go again next year!
    Enjoy!

      oh fun!! I am so bummed i didn't get to go picking this year!! I was given about 3/4 tons of apples already picked. I'm grateful - really grateful, but i miss the orchard experience and freshness! You are a lucky girl 🙂

      OH! Lois, how I would love to have been there that orchard looks so inviting. Our apple trees did not produce one apple this year. What a wonderful time you all must of had. Thanks for sharing. I am looking forward to seeing what you do with them.
      Blessings,

      I have a 'thing' for barns & churches ... your pic is gorgeous!

      Can tell you had a lovely time this time. Our orchards here are very full. Our pumpkins are very small this year.

      Have a warm wonderful week. TTFN ~ Marydon

      How fun! I have always wanted to go apple picking, but Georgia doesn't have a whole ton of apple farms. I need to look into that though.

      So glad it was a whole different experience for you this time! Apple picking can be hard work under the wrong conditions like 90 degree heat! So what will you be making with all of those wonderful apples? Pie, applesauce, apple streudel???? Hugs, Loretta

      Sometimes it is truly amazing how an experience that was once unpleasant or difficult can actually be enjoyable the second time...so glad you gave apple picking a second chance (altho I can see why the first time was not so much fun).

      blessings and hugs,

      We had a great time picking apples when we visited our relatives in CT. The best part was eating them. There is nothing like fresh apples. I'm glad this trip went better than last for you!

      I LOVE getting apples at the Orchard. But going without the hubby or someone at least to carry them, not so much I'm thinking, haha...Glad you has a good time. Enjoy your week. Blessings to you, Debbie

      Looks like you had FUN, lol! We didn't have any apples on our trees this year due to a late spring freeze, and the orchards in our area didn't either, so you are a lucky girl, and they look DEE-LICIOUS, love that barn too!!! Enjoy your day:)
