Today I drove out to my brother’s house. It’s about 45 min. from me. He and his family aren’t there now, they are on vacation.
I had hoped to take a few friends to a farm for fall apple picking, and maybe still can, but for now, an unkempt, but fruitful apple tree for free!
I took a lesurely morning…walking Shadow (with a coulple of doggie friends) and then puttering around the house. I packed my lunch, camera, and an audio book and hit the road.
The fall colors are slight and sporadic and today was so humid, I think it should qualify as a summer day! But I am a fall advocate so I was not hindered!
I was a bit discouraged when, upon arrival I did NOT find the apple picker by the fence as promised. Careful digging revealed it under the grass and weeds!
I picked. I took pictures. I drank a lot of water. I hauled a couple of boxes of apples to the car. As I’d decided to leave, the front garden caught my attention with tomato plants still laden with fruit. I grabbed another box from the car and picked a few tomatoes–enough for more spaghetti sauce!
So thanks Bubba for the free produce! I promise to share the results!
