Gone Pickin'

It's the last weekend of summer, and the weather has been beautiful. We got into the fall mood by visiting our local orchard to pick apples.

Apparently, we were not the only ones who had this bright idea.

There were pears available too.

They seem to have an affinity to grow in "pears"...hehehhe

We got away with about 50 lbs of fruit. Snow White wouldn't venture anywhere near our house - we have that many apples.

This is the last fruit picking season.

Next time, we'll be back for strawberries in the summer.

And we are looking forward to it.
