Just. Can't. Stop.
Dave and I have been apple picking now for 5 consecutive falls. It's one of my favorite things to do. I love apples. And apple pies, apple crisp, apple cake, apple cider donuts, apple sauce, apple pie moonshine, apple fritters....... You get the idea.
After doing this for a few years now you'd think we would grasp the idea of ONLY picking what we need/can use within a short period of time. Um....no. This year's bounty: 44lbs of apples and 6 pounds of Italian plums. Seriously?!
So, the apple pie moonshine making commenced pronto and a sack of apples and a handful of plums went to one neighbor = down 10 lbs! :)
Ellie had a blast and it was fun having her help pick this year too. She absolutely loved the plums and probably had about 5 of them....oops. Anyway, here are some pictures from today's annual trip to the orchard. Enjoy!!!!

I think apples might be my very favorite thing about fall. I remember picking them at my grandparent's house and making cider... LOVE!
