H picked all the ones high up in the trees......
..... while I get all the low hanging fruit! (no short jokes, please)
Two bags worth ended up being 38 pounds; one bag of Empires and another of Macouns which are a nice, crisp cross of Cortlands and Macintoshes.
Just being in the orchard surrounded by all those apple trees was a treat
Kind of makes you want to take a bite, doesn't it?
Somebody found the bags of apples fascinating......
... and promptly fished one out for his entertainment!
Sure wish we could have taken these two munchkins with us. I know they would have enjoyed it.
Life is Good!Hugs, Giddy

I am sure you and H will turn those apples into something delicious.
I did not know your son was a chef. I can understand how he would have a love of cooking living with you both!
I am suddenly hungry for apple crisp!
I'm imagining the smell of that apple orchard....mmmmm. Picking apples is a wonderful way to spend a few hours.
You've made me want to bake an apple pie.
It's funny, today I came home with 2 bags of apples which are on sale at our local grocery store for 69 cents a lb....Empires and Macouns :) They are 2 of our favorites.
Chutney is delicious. I haven't had it in years, nor apple butter. I guess we'll have to come visit!!
Sluggo is like Jasmine...curious about everything. The other day she fished a carrot out of a bucket that R brought in from the garden, and batted it around until she had it hidden under a mat.
Our weather has been miserable for the most part. I expect yours has been about the same. We're seriously overdue for some sunshine!
But yes, life is good, nevertheless :)
