Several weeks ago we visited a local
apple orchard.
First time pickers here!!!
I felt like I needed to wear a button on
my shirt "First Time Apple-Picker"...
proudly announcing my
late arrival to this new and wonderful
world of apples, fresh and juicy
falling right into our hands, directly from
the branches.
When I shared with a friend that
I had never been apple picking before...
Well...she was shocked... utterly shocked!!
"How does someone like
you NEVER go apple picking ...until now!???"
she exclaimed.
"You need to get yourself to
the orchard...this season...!" she said.
She was right.
How had I missed this
amazing fall tradition?? (until now)
Because, yes, ...I've been to many a farm
...and I have picked
fruits and vegetables of all kinds...right form the fields...
strawberries, blueberries, peaches and cherries...
blackberries, pumpkins, tomatoes, corn...
~
Even picking and harvesting
from my own little backyard garden...
But apparently, I have been
missing out on some of the best
U-pick action around:
Apple Picking!!!
Actually...
This whole apple picking business...
it ranks right up there with all
the other activities that
I have come to discover,
well after the masses
knew they were awesome...
...like FM radio...
Yes, that's right...
for a very long time I had no idea about FM radio.
100% no idea, at all.
Zero inkling about pop music... none.
How could this happen??
