Fall harvest of apples happened this year. Yahoo! Not from our apple trees for the deer did accomplish gorging themselves...But from a work friend of Jon's that owns an orchard. Weather conditions this year brought many apples to the ground. So many of this ground apples are in perfect condition and they are unable to sell them. So we picked and picked and picked...Oh yeah and picnic our lunch our away yesterday. Today we make applesauce, dried apples and juice. Busy, busy with all pitching in to help.
