Last weekend Sian and I took part in a huge Fall tradition, we went apple picking. I was amazed to see how many people - of all ages - take part in this extremely wholesome pastime. There were even groups of teenagers there! The Orchard we visited had almost been picked clean, in fact we only just made it in time as the next day they announced they were no apples left on the trees. As well as the apple picking there were baby farm animals, pumpkins for sale and hot cider and donuts. (Unfortunately cider in the US is non alcoholic!) The apples we picked were delicious and so far I have made a very successful apple pie and 2 batches of applesauce. Maybe I'm finally becoming domesticated.
